All of the work is in the queries, so it doesn't matter that the example at the end is in Perl. The whole concept is that you're using SUM(IF(column=value,1,0)) to sum up your values. To get each of the "values" you can run a query and use the results of that query to build your second query with all of the SUMs. ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dillon, John" <JDillon@cantor.co.uk> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 2:09 PM Subject: RE: Pivot tables Darn, here's the link: http://www.mysql.com/articles/wizard/print_version.html -----Original Message----- From: Dillon, John Sent: 11 August 2003 19:09 To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Pivot tables Here is the worth-reading mysql answer to my question below.
