Re: Help with a select statement design

hello,


(         select 'A' as x, id, price from tab where id = 'value'
union all select 'B' as x, id, ...
union all select 'C' as x, id, ...
union all select 'D' as x, id, price from tab where id = 'value' )

generate a list like
X   id  price
A   1   10
B   2   20
C   3   30
D   4   40

select
max (case when X = 'A' then id   end ) as id_a,
max (case when X = 'A' then price end ) as price_a,
max (case when X = 'B' then id    end ) as id_b,
max (case when X = 'B' then price end ) as price_b,
max (case when X = 'C' then id    end ) as id_c,
max (case when X = 'C' then price end ) as price_c,
max (case when X = 'D' then id    end ) as id_d,
max (case when X = 'D' then price end ) as price_d
from ( table_or_select_from_above )
