Given the following table:
id column1 column2 ------------------------- 1 3 8 2 4 7 3 4 10 4 4 14 5 14 17 6 10 27 7 14 21 8 16 14 9 21 4 10 30 3
what is the nicest way to query selecting rows when number 4 and 14 are selected in column1
or column2
BUT exclude when number 4 and number 14 are both in the row. Be aware that the order can be reversed.
expected output
id column1 column2 ------------------------- 2 4 7 3 4 10 5 14 17 7 14 21 8 16 14 9 21 4

Answer
SELECT * FROM table WHERE (column1=4 XOR column2=14) XOR (column1=14 XOR column2=4)
