Oh great. Thanks a lot.

But now, I have another problem in this context. If I use text in the SELECT statement (so, that the final output gives me the name of the selected variables, plus the year and the value) than I get this error message: ERROR: failed to find conversion function from "unknown" to text

If I just use one of the SELECTs, it works fine. But as soon as I use the UNION ALL and add the second SELECT, the error message appears.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any hints!


SELECT *
   FROM (SELECT  'pop_density' AS name, d.year_start, d.value
                   FROM emissions_so2_total_rivm AS d
                              LEFT JOIN
                              countries AS c ON c.id = d.id_country
WHERE ((c.iso_2_code = 'CH') OR (c.iso_3_code = 'CH'))
                 ORDER BY d.year_start DESC
                 LIMIT 1) c1
UNION ALL
SELECT *
   FROM (SELECT  'gdp' AS name, d.year_start, d.value
                   FROM emissions_so2_total_rivm AS d
                              LEFT JOIN
                              countries AS c ON c.id = d.id_country
WHERE ((c.iso_2_code = 'CH') OR (c.iso_3_code = 'CH'))
                 ORDER BY d.year_start DESC
                 LIMIT 1) c2
