Please read any book on RDBMS and learn what First Normal Form is
(1NF). You think that SQL is a MV database or perhaps an old COBOL file
with variant records. That is fundamentally wrong. Do you understand
what a scalar value is? How about an atomic value (slight difference)?
Normalize the schema, which is the real problem, and your question is
answered immediately by the data.
