Table is like create table foo ( number int, subset int, value int ) select * from foo; number | subset | value 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 3 10 1 4 3 current query is like select number, avg(case when subset = 1 then value else null end) as v1, avg(case when subset = 2 then value else null end) as v2, avg(case when subset = 3 then value else null end) as v3, avg(case when subset = 4 then value else null end) as v4 from foo group by number results ------ number | v1 | v2 | v3 | v4 1 1 2 10 4 I'm thinking of denormalising it a bit and put it either as an array or just create a new table with the end result like the above. I just want to know which is more efficient. Users can just do a select * from new_foo where number = 'X'; Thanks. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
