Hello all,

Ok I know this is very bad programming

but it’s the only way I can solve the problem with my application.

I am making a simple query select something from myTable

I get

1
2
1
2
5

something like this

is it possible for me to convert these rows into columns instead?

i.e return

1 2 1 2 5

my goal is to turn x rows with 1 column into
x columns with 1 row

any suggestions?
