select question

I have a table T with columns run, wafer, and test:  T(run text, wafer int, test text)
Given a run and a set of wafers, I need the set of tests that match
*all* the specified wafers:

run    wafer    test
a    1    foo
a    2    foo
a    3    foo
a    3    bar

E.g. Given run 'a' and wafers (1,3) I should get one row: foo, since only foo matches both 1 and 3. Given run 'a' and
wafers(3) I should get two rows: foo,bar, since both foo and bar match 3.
 

Is there some neat way to do this in a single query?

Puzzled,George

You can use this query

SELECT * FROM TWHERE run = 'a' AND wafer = 1 AND test = 'foo'
UNION
SELECT * FROM TWHERE run = 'a' AND wafer = 2 AND test = 'foo'
UNION
SELECT * FROM TWHERE run = 'a' AND wafer = 3 AND test = 'foo'
UNION
SELECT * FROM TWHERE run = 'a' AND wafer = 3 AND test = 'bar'

select test from T where run='a'    and wafers in ('1','3') group by test
