This is an old common SQL problem ... the "crosstab" table. There are 3 standard ways to solve it, depending on the exact circumstances of your case. It's probably best if you buy Joe Celko's "SQL for Smarties, 2nd Ed.", which has a 50-page chapter on the topic and explores the methods in detail. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
