[AccessD] SQL Equivalent

I've used Ken's suggestion of a Case statement in this situation when I
need to return either a boolean or even a conditional string or numeric
value for use in sorting.  It works nicely for this.

Subject: [AccessD] SQL Equivalent

In Access you can create a query, even in the QBW, where you make a
field [FieldA]=[FieldB] as AIsEqB and the result is a true / false in a
separate AIsEqB field.

I have been trying to do that in SQL Server and it just will not accept
the additional field.  More precisely, it tries to turn the
[FieldA]=[FieldB] into a string '[FieldA]=[FieldB]'.

If I manually edit the SQL to include a where clause looking like that
it turns it into an inner join.

Is there a way to create this construct (a new field that evaluates to a
true / false) in SQL Server?
