RE: SELECT subquery problem
You can do: SELECT last_name, first_name, phone, if(pub_email=Y,email,) as email FROM `mydatabasetable` WHERE `current_member` = Y AND `pub_name` = Y ORDER BY last_name ASC Gracias, Carlos.

SELECT subquery problem
De-lurking here. I am trying to figure out how to return results from a query. What I need to do is to return 4 columns from a database. This is easy: SELECT last_name, first_name, phone, email FROM `mydatabasetable` WHERE `current_member` = Y AND `pub_name` = Y ORDER BY last_name ASC This works fine, as expected. But, I want to only display the value in `email` if the value in another field, `pub_email` = Y So, the resultant output would look like this, for instance, if the value of `pub_email` =N for Mr. Wills: Jones John 555-555- johnjo...@nowhere.com Smith Jim 555-222- jimsm...@nothing.com WillsChill 555-111- Zorro Felicity 555-999- felicityzo...@madeup.com Can't quite figure out how to express this.

Re: SELECT subquery problem
Try using a CASE construct in the select. Should work for this. A On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 3:25 PM, Stefan Kuhn stef...@web.de wrote: You cannot do this.
