Question

How can I make the statement:

SELECT column1 FROM db WHERE country in ('USA','BRA','CHN') and commodity='pork'

return

value1, value2, value3 (where value1 is for USA, value2 for BRA, value3 for CHN)

The best I got so far was a single column with all the values appearing as they are pulled from the database.

Answer 1

You can do the following:

Select a.column1,b.column2,c.column3 from
(SELECT column1 FROM db WHERE country ='USA' and commodity='pork') as a,
(SELECT column1 FROM db WHERE country ='BRA' and commodity='pork') as b,
(SELECT column1 FROM db WHERE country ='CHN' and commodity='pork') as c
