select (level - 1) * row_dif + 1 as a, (level - 1) * row_dif + 2 as b, (level - 1) * row_dif + 3 as c
    from dual 
    connect by level <= number_of_rows;

就像这样

select (level - 1) * 3 + 1 as a, (level - 1) * 3 + 2 as b, (level - 1) * 3 + 3 as c
    from dual 
    connect by level <= 3;

SELECT * 
FROM DUAL 
CONNECT BY ROWNUM <= 9;

在MySQL中，你可以这样做:values (1,2)， (3,4);

mysql> values (1,2), (3, 4);
+---+---+
| 1 | 2 |
+---+---+
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
+---+---+
2 rows in set (0.004 sec)

在MySQL 8中，也可以给列命名:

mysql> SELECT * FROM (SELECT 1, 2, 3, 4) AS dt (a, b, c, d);
+---+---+---+---+
| a | b | c | d |
+---+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
+---+---+---+---+

下面是一种直接用MySQL请求SELECT创建自定义行的方法:

SELECT ALL *
FROM (
    VALUES
        ROW (1, 2, 3),
        ROW (4, 5, 6),
        ROW (7, 8, 9)
) AS dummy (c1, c2, c3)

给我们一个表假人:

c1   c2   c3
-------------
 1    2    3
 4    5    6
 7    8    9

用MySQL 8测试

下面介绍如何使用DB2的XML特性来实现这一点

SELECT *
FROM
XMLTABLE ('$doc/ROWSET/ROW' PASSING XMLPARSE ( DOCUMENT '
<ROWSET>
  <ROW>
    <A val="1" /> <B val="2" /> <C val="3" />
  </ROW>
  <ROW>
    <A val="4" /> <B val="5" /> <C val="6" />
  </ROW>
  <ROW>
    <A val="7" /> <B val="8" /> <C val="9" />
  </ROW>
</ROWSET>
') AS "doc"
   COLUMNS 
      "A" INT PATH 'A/@val',
      "B" INT PATH 'B/@val',
      "C" INT PATH 'C/@val'
) 
AS X
;

在PostgreSQL中，你可以做:

SELECT  *
FROM    (
        VALUES
        (1, 2),
        (3, 4)
        ) AS q (col1, col2)

在其他系统中，只需使用UNION ALL:

SELECT  1 AS col1, 2 AS col2
-- FROM    dual
-- uncomment the line above if in Oracle
UNION ALL
SELECT  3 AS col1, 3 AS col2
-- FROM    dual
-- uncomment the line above if in Oracle

在Oracle, SQL Server和PostgreSQL中，您还可以生成任意行数的记录集(可通过外部变量提供):

SELECT  level
FROM    dual
CONNECT BY
        level <= :n

在Oracle中,

WITH    q (l) AS
        (
        SELECT  1
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  l + 1
        FROM    q
        WHERE   l < @n
        )
SELECT  l
FROM    q
-- OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0)
-- uncomment line above if @n >= 100

在SQL Server中，

SELECT  l
FROM    generate_series(1, $n) l

在PostgreSQL。
