Hi,
None of the above. :) .This is just an academic research on a benchmark. I just
want to access my database with this function and return 4 Integer values.
I separated the numbers with comma to process on it later as an string and
split the result using string functions which did work. I was just wondering if
its possible with mysql to return a sequence of numbers or not. I think to
solve my problem among the ways mentioned before I will create a table with
Engine=Memory to speed up things. I don't think any other way is possible.
Â
Thanks,
Javad

Actually, that's not 'the problem' you are attempting to solve at all. That is
an attempt at a 'solution' to the problem.
If I stare very hard into my crystal ball and use all of my psychic-SQL-fu, all
I can tell is that you are attempting to build some kind of comma-separated
value. However, why you need this list and what it is trying to solve is beyond
me.
Please step back from the SQL end of things for a second and talk to us about
the actual problem you are trying to solve. Are you generating nuclear launch
codes? Are you indexing someone's genome? Are you trying to build a web page?
All of this SQL coding is designed to be a single step in some larger process.
If you share that larger purpose with us, we may be able to suggest a more
efficient approach than arrays to solve your larger problem.
