I know it's not valid SQL.

me: I'm running three queries to get data from a single table
you: Why would you use 3 queries to get data from one table?
me: Because the various data sets I need are all based on different stipulations.
you: why not make DIFFERENT queries?

Do you see where this has gotten circular? I am using different queries. I was asking if anybody knew of a trick I was unaware of to nullify the need of multiple queries.
