Hi Lukas,

It is mysterious, but it is not at all powerful :-(

It seems like just a hack in Postgres to emulate pivot tables.

My requirement is to transpose rows in query to columns, taking this
query result as an example

subscription  description     charge   sum          count
------------  --------------------       ---------  --------         -----
13973         National            0          28686876  4
13973         Mobile National 322416  4836         68
13973         SMS                83600    0              44
13973         International      640      12             4

I'd like to flatten these four rows into one row, grouped by subscription, i.e.

subscription national_charge national_sum national_count
mobile_national_count ....
----------------  ----------------------- -------------------
--------------------- -------------------------------
13973         0                      28686876        4
    322416

I'm pretty sure I've done this with Oracle before, but I'm stuck with Postgres.

Maybe there's a better way that I can create some kind of dynamic pivot?

Cheers,

Ben
