Returning multiple columns...?

1 New Member
Hi!

I was just wondering if it was possible, in SQL, for a CASE expression to return multiple columns (a row)...? I know you can't do in this in a SELECT caluse, but is there anywhere else you CAN do it in?

Say,

CASE when x=3 then VALUES(x+3,4) else VALUES(x+1, 2) end

In CSS3 it looks like we'll have multiple column flowing of text (newspaper style) in which the number of columns can be determined automatically given the available horizontal space. http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/ Until then, what's the current best practice for achieving the same effect? Or is it just not possible yet? Thanks ... Dennis

Hi All :) I'm converting VB6 using True DBGrid Pro 8.0 to VB2005 using DataGridView. True DBGrid has a MultipleLines property that controls whether individual records span multiple lines. Is there an equivalent property for the DataGridView? I have searched, but have not found one.
