Many possibilities, with DECODE and CASE being the most commonly used.  When I 
benchmarked them many years ago, DECODE was a tiny bit faster than CASE on my 
systems/databases.  Your mileage may vary...  
Next, I would tell the interviewer I hope I could get a lock on the table and 
had ample undo space available :)

Subject: How to do this?

Hi all,
I just attended an interview, where I answered lot of questions, but struggled 
to answer only one. 

If I have a table which has a column gender, and I have only 'm' and 'f' in 
that, how to change all 'm's into 'f' and vise versa, with a single sql 
statement?

Any thoughts?
