I hope this is not to late for you. Anyway, this questions comes up often. Below is the solution to pivot rows for up to 12 values of field1. Just adjust to fit your range of values.

create table tab1 (field1 number,field2 varchar2(30));
insert into tab1 values( 1,'RAM');
insert into tab1 values( 1,'SHAM');
insert into tab1 values( 1,'PAT');
insert into tab1 values( 2,'MAN');
insert into tab1 values( 2,'JOHN');

Hi Friends,
I just need a help in a sql . I am having rows in a table as follows
Field1(ID) Field2(NAME)
--------------------------
1 RAM
1 SHAM
1 PAT
2 MAN
2 JOHN
Now i want the output to be as follows
FIELD1 FIELD2
------------------
1 RAMSHAMPAT
2 MANJOHN
In the output i have to show all the names for the same id in a single row.
Please help me in getting this output using a SQL query and not through
cursors.
Thanks in advance.

Shankar
