Yes, no problem, You can use UNION (ALL) for such.


Not sure thats what he wants at all. Anyway Union all is going to produce a very slow way of doing this needing to go back to the data 3 times where as this only goes once.


 SELECT TO_CHAR( statistics_date, 'DD/MM/YYYY') AS date_in,
sum(case when message_type_id in (4,5) then total_num_messages else 0 end) as fourorfive,
sum(case when message_type_id in (6) then total_num_messages else 0 end) as six,
sum(case when message_type_id in (21) then total_num_messages else 0 end) as twentyone
        FROM statistics_daily
        WHERE statistics_date = CURRENT_DATE
        AND telecom_operator_id <> 0
        AND telephone_number IN ( $numbers )
        GROUP BY date_in

You may have to play to get exactly what you want but here worse case your only doing one scan of the table not three... You may want to use views to simplify things.
