SQL query to return more than one copy of same row, if hit on more than one where clause

Question

Hitting a record based on multiple where clauses, I would like SQL to return a copy of the row being hit, for every where clause that matches.

c1 | c2 | c3

x    y    z

x,y,z : Would be return only once with a where c1=x or c3=z

I would like where c1=x or c3=z , to return, 2 copies of x,y,z

Can this be achieved?

Why?

I am trying to eliminate running multiple queries to get multiples of the same record to do prioritization.

I can and should get two copies of x,y,z if I run two queries, one for c1, and one for c3.

I want these 2 copies of x,y,z by design, but I want to run one query. With my implementation, I will run into situations where I will have to run more than 10 query trips to get what I am after... for one prioritized record.

I would rather run one single query, than 10.

Answer 1

This would do it although it might not be as elegant as you'd like

SELECT c1,c2,c3 FROM [MyTableName] where c1=x 
UNION ALL 
SELECT c1,c2,c3 FROM [MyTableName] where c3=z 

Answer 2

Already answered, but here is an alternative:

SELECT  c1,c2,c3
FROM    [MyTableName]
        JOIN (VALUES (1),(2)) t(n) 
            ON (t.n = 1 AND c1 = 'x') OR (t.n = 2 AND c3 = 'z');

Answer 3

SELECT t.*
FROM MyTable t
CROSS APPLY (
  VALUES
  (c1,'x'),
  (c2,'y'),
  (c3,'z')
) f(col,val)
WHERE col = val
