I need to get a WHERE clause to only evaluate certain statements. something like:

WHERE field_a = field_b AND
   (CASE WHEN <PARAM>type</PARAM> = 5
      THEN {field_c = 1 OR field_c = 2}
      WHEN <PARAM>type</PARAM> = 6
      THEN {field_c = 3 OR field_c = 4}
      ELSE field_c = <PARAM>type</PARAM>

so that when the Param type = 5, it only checks if field_c = 1 or 2. Any thoughts?
