Do you mean case-sensitive? No, in Oracle you would have to use UPPER or LOWER to force case, e.g.
WHERE UPPER(name) LIKE 'SMITH%'
What does IIF do? I'd guess it is probably something like Oracle's DECODE:
SELECT DECODE(status,1,'new',2,'old','unknown') FROM mytable;
This means:
Check value of mytable.status;
If it is 1 then return 'new'
If it is 2 then return 'old'
For any other values return 'unknown'
(Note: DECODE is not limited to 3 return values as in my example)
