Je pense que vous pouvez utiliser case when then
syntaxe comme ci-dessous :
SELECT CASE WHEN player1id = 1 THEN player2id ELSE player1id END
FROM players WHERE player1id =1 OR player2id=1;
Sinon :
SELECT CASE WHEN player1id = 1 THEN player2id WHEN player2id =1 THEN player1id END
FROM players WHERE player1id =1 OR player2id=1;
