    15 java
    15 vb
    13 java
    13 c

    14 java
    15 c
    =======================================================
    i want to select the students id who has registered for java and C only means output = 13 from the above data.

    Yes.

    Code:
    SELECT Student_id 
      FROM mytable
     WHERE course = 'java' AND
           course = 'c';
    btw, ajmal, you should start reading a book on SQL. Perhaps you could read SQL for Mere Mortals. There are many other good SQL books.

    This query will of course *never ever* return any row! Too easy, eh?

    How about ...
    Code:
    select student_id
    from my_table
    where course in ('java','c')
    group by student_id
    having count(distinct course) = 2

    Another method:

    select student_id
    from
    (
    select student_id ,
           
    sum(case
            
    when course 'c' then 1

    this should work fine:

    PHP Code:
    select student_id from (
       
    select distinct student_id,
          
    count(*) over (partition by student_idcourses
       from my_table
       where course in 
    ('java','c'))
    where courses 2
