Tja, overvej følgende...
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS abc;
CREATE TABLE abc
(id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY
,ColA CHAR(1) NOT NULL
,ColB CHAR(3) NOT NULL
,ColC INT NOT NULL
);
INSERT INTO abc (ColA,ColB,ColC) VALUES
('A','xxx',40),
('A','YYY',40),
('A','zzz',40),
('B','ABC',50),
('B','BCA',50),
('C','TTT',60),
('C','FFF',60);
SELECT * FROM abc;
+----+------+------+------+

+----+------+------+------+

SELECT id,a,b,c

Jeg skal nævne, at dette forudsætter, at sammenstillinger stemmer overens (f.eks. SET NAMES utf8;)
