I don't believe it's possible to do what you're suggesting. At least, according to the second example on this page: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/subquery-errors.html.

I'd like to be able to combine them into one with aliases. Here's what I have now: select letter_codename, (select greek from letter_otherlanguages where letter ='A') as greek, (select french from letter_otherlanguages where letter ='A') as french, (select german from letter_otherlanguages where letter ='A') as german from intl_codes where letter='A'; I'd like to replace it with: select letter_codename, (select greek, french, german from letter_otherlanguages where letter ='A') as (greek, french, german) from intl_codes where letter='A'; Don't get hung up on the tables and structures, this is just a simple example. :) I want to use the three subselects because if I use a left join, the processing time goes from .4 to 5 seconds. Is this possible? Thanks! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
