I would like to have multiple values nutrient_no:
ndb_no | nutrient_no | nutrient_value
--------+-------------+----------------
13473 | 203 | 24.18
13473 | 204 | 15.93
13473 | 205 | 0
13473 | 207 | 1.1
13473 | 208 | 247
13473 | 221 | 0

I'm thinking:
select nutrient_no, nutrient_value from nutrient_data where ndb_no =
13473 and (nutrient_no = '203' or nutrient_no = '204' or nutrient_no = 208);

Now is that the most efficient SQL query?
