Question

I need to write a SELECT query in one line only that could potentially return n number of rows.

eg

select 1 as 'primary', '[e-mail]' as 'email'

Will return 1 row with column primary=1 and column email [e-mail]

My parser does not read beyond the first SELECT – so i need to write all this data using 1 select. I have searched a bit but cant really find a proper answer.

eg.

select (1 as 'primary', '[e-mail]' as 'email'),(2 as 'primary', '[e-mail]' as 'email')

does not work..

Answer 1

How about this?

select 1 as 'primary', '[e-mail]' as 'email' union select 2, '[e-mail]'
