Body
You've not shown us the schema of your table; that makes it harder than it might be to help you. If you are seeking to get <code>car1</code> column or <code>car2</code> column or ... then there are at least two problems: <ol> <li>Your table is incorrectly designed.</li> <li>You cannot build up the name of a column (or table) as part of the query.</li> </ol> You should put the information about each of a customer's cars in a separate table from the information about the customer. Thus, the information that the customer's name is 'Joe' belongs in one table; the fact that he drives a Lamborghini should be recorded in a separate table. There might be multiple records in the table of cars for each customer. You'd also need to join the two tables; your syntactically incorrect query doesn't attempt to do that. <hr> You have two tables with columns: <ul> <li>Customers: customer, type, ...</li> <li>Customers_Cars: main_vehicle, car1, car2, car3</li> </ul> You probably have, but haven't shown, some sort of 'customer' column in <code>Customers_Cars</code>. In fact, you should probably have a 'Customer ID' column in each table. Further, the <code>Customers_Cars</code> table should be just: <ul> <li>Customers_Cars: CustomerID, CarNum, CarInfo, MainVehicle</li> </ul> In this, I'm assuming <code>MainVehicle</code> is a boolean flag, and that there is one entry tagged true per customer. Your SELECT statement then becomes: <pre><code>SELECT U.*, C.CarInfo FROM Customers AS U JOIN Customers_Cars AS C ON C.CustomerID = U.CustomerID WHERE C.MainVehicle = TRUE AND U.Customer = 'Joe' AND U.Type = 'CoolCustomer'; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
