Answer 1

I'm using firebird First of all, create a one column table named "NoTable" like this

CREATE TABLE NOTABLE 
(
  NOCOLUMN              INTEGER
);
INSERT INTO NOTABLE VALUES (0); -- You can put any value

now you can write this

select 'hello world' as name

from notable

you can add any column you want to be shown
