Need sql query to pull back data that meets several groups of criteria from same table in one query - sql

Question

I need to write an sql query that will pull back the data that meets several groups of criteria from the same table. The easiest way to describe is to imagine using an SQL "in" clause but instead of the internals of that clause being "or"s joining the parameters you want it to match it is instead an "and".
I attempted to use count to verify the correct amount of data was pulled back for each "in" statement but the count can't always be trusted due to other entries being similar for each column.
A sample table might be this:
id count animal
--- ----- ------
1 5 puppy
1 6 cat
1 6 puppy
So, now I need a query that will pull back all entries with an id of 1 and a count of 5 and 6 and an animal of puppy and cat. I pretty much need to verify the entire path of the table entry to know I want to pull it back. Is there any built in function that can do this? Do I need to use a recursive CTE to dig deep after confirming that one set of criteria is met? Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

If I got it right
with cnt as(
select id
from tbl
where [count] in (5,6) and animal in ('puppy', 'cat')
group by id
having count(distinct[count])=2 and count(distinct animal)=2
)
select id, [count], animal
from tbl
where id in (select id from cnt);

Answer 2

It's kind of confusing what you're looking for exactly but can you not use or's and ands?
select id, count, animal
from table
where id = 1 and
(count = 5 or count = 6) and
(animal = puppy or anmial = cat)

Answer 3

I think you just want:
select t.*
from t
where id = 1 and
count in (5, 6) and
animal in ('puppy', 'cat');
EDIT:
If you want them all in the same row, just rearrange the conditions:
select t.*
from t
where id = 1 and
( (count = 5 and animal = 'puppy') or
(count = 6 and animal = 'cat')
);
