How do I convert that into a single (HTML) row again? You can use conditionals like in my simple example: test=*# select * from vals; year | val ------+-------- 1998 | 10.00 1998 | 20.00 1998 | 25.00 1999 | 30.00 1999 | 39.00 2000 | 100.00 2000 | 99.00 2000 | 98.00 (8 rows) test=*# select sum(case when year=1998 then val else 0 end) as "1998", sum(case when year=1999 then val else 0 end) as "1999", sum(case when year=2000 then val else 0 end) as "2000" from vals; 1998 | 1999 | 2000 -------+-------+-------- 55.00 | 69.00 | 297.00 (1 row) > > And the next question coming up is: How should my query look like so > that I can sort the (HTML) table by a specific year in ascending or > descending order? So, that it doesn't display it by the country names > alphabetical order, but by, say 1998? If you have only one row, how would you sort this result? ;-) Andreas -- Andreas Kretschmer Kontakt: Heynitz: 035242/47150, D1: 0160/7141639 (mehr: -> Header) GnuPG-ID: 0x3FFF606C, privat 0x7F4584DA http://wwwkeys.de.pgp.net ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
