Hmm.. Not very sure how to get that done. Is there anything which is unique about each item in the list? Please Send to the Maillist as you will get more response from more knowledgeable people there. Not sure how your row are. is it really marked as Row1/Row2/Row3? If yes, you can use a case expression. select case when row=row1 then row else null end as mechanic , case when row=row2 then row else null end as carpenter, end -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
