Question

Is it possible in MySQL to select from a static set of integers? Given an array of integers like 1 and 2, what is the correct syntax in MySQL to do something like:

select 
    * 
from 
    (values(1),(2)) 

Which should return one row containing the number 1 and one row containing the number 2.

In other SQL than MySQL (e.g. MSSQL) this is possible. Is there a way to do this in MySQL?

Answer 1

I think you mean something like this?

SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3
