 select async, column1 from
 (
 select distinct async, COLUMN1 from Table1 
 where COLUMN1 is not null 

 union 
 select distinct async, COLUMN2 as COLUMN1 from Table1 and
 where COLUMN1 is null and COLUMN2 is not null 

 union 
 select distinct async, COLUMN3 as COLUMN1 from Table1 
 where COLUMN1 is null and COLUMN2 is null and COLUMN3 is not null 

 union

COALESCE可以解决问题，它会选择第一个NOT NULL值

 select DISTINCT async, coalesce(column1,column2,column3,column4,...) from Table1;
