Question

First off, sorry about the goofy question.

What I’m looking for is to return a “dataset” of hard-coded data. The reason why I need this or whether it’s a good solution or not is irrelevant. I’d just like to know how I can do it.

I basically want to return, via a SELECT, this “fake” dataset.

DisplayText  Value
-----------  -----
Yes          true
No           false

I’d rather avoid going through creating a table, populating it and then querying it if can. I’m thinking there’s a clever way of doing this through the SELECT, but I haven’t the skillz to do it.

Any help would be appreciated. Yes, I know this is goofy. Let’s move past that. =)

Answer 1

It’s not “clever” but this should work:

Select 'Yes' as DisplayText, 'true' as Value
UNION
SELECT 'No', 'false'
