For Pete's sake. The OP didn't even express his original request in natural 
language or offer a working example. Those of us who are not regular SQL users 
would have needed to parse out the SQL code in order to figure out what was 
intended. (My guess is that it would have been quite easy to solve if those 
were what were offered.)  But making the effort to divine the intent didn't 
seem justified by the level of courtesy offered by the questioner.
