function to return rows as columns?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
	i have a query that returns a result set like this:

item | size | stock
123  | XL   | 10
123  | XXL | 5
123  | XS   | 3

and i would like get the results like this:

item | XL | XXL | XS
123  | 10  | 5     | 3

i have been thinking how to do it with a plpgsql function but the number of sizes depend on the item that it is queried so i can not create a type and return it, i could create it like a text concatenating the stock and size of every row and returning the complete line text but i would have to process it in the application anyway so i am searching a solution that lets me return it like a record.

I have been searching the list and maybe i could create the record type inside the function and to get the correct names and number of columns in the application side launching a query to get the number of sizes before call the function to specify the columns in the function call but maybe i am missing anything important here? any better (or more correct) way to do this? Thanks.

Regards,
Miguel Angel.
