The query looks good. What's the data in the pos column? Could it be that
the average is indeed zero?

Igor,

  Of course! I was not thinking it completely through and now it's quite
clear.

select cat, pos, avg(col1), avg(col2), ...
from voting
group by cat, pos;

  Ah! That's what I was missing at the end of a very long day. Thank you
very much. As I wrote, it's been longer than I thought since I wrote SQL to
any extent. Time to get a basic SQL book to complement my advanced one by
Joe Celko.

Many thanks,

Rich
