Hi,

I'm wondering how to approach crosstab queries with the entity engine.
That is, I want to turn data from a row into a column heading.

if the entity is something like:

salesperson(char 20), month(number), total(number)

and I want a query like

SELECT salesperson, 
(SELECT SUM(total) from sales where month = 1) as 'JAN',
(SELECT SUM(total) from sales where month = 2) as 'FEB',
.
.
.
.
.
.
(SELECT SUM(total) from sales where month = 12) as 'DEC',
(SELECT SUM(total) as 'GRAND Total'

reading the entity engine cookbook, I see a way to to SUMs and other
functions, but not sub-selects.

and also I have a case where I would have to get the column names
themselves using a query.  For this, I would be limited to JDBC, I take
it?
