Select a single column from a list of numbers in MySQL

I have a list of numbers (2, 8, 12, 2, 48, 7...). I would like to select this list as a single column using MySQL.

I want m开发者_如何学运维y results to be:

Column 1
--------
2
8
12
2
48
7

...

What is the recommended way to do this?

(Edit: Ideally, I would like to do this without resorting to stored procedures or functions.)

Tom,

I think you may be required to use a Stored Procedure to achieve this functionality. Here's a sample from forge.mysql.
