So in this case, you are not grouping the data in any way. You want a particular column of every single row pivoted. Am I restating this correctly?
ASKER
yes thats correct
Usually , there is some kind of grouping in a pivot and we would also need to explicitly group by known fields. You example does not fit here. It seems to me this really requires a much more simple example.
What about simply:
select per_name||' and ' from table_name
This would, of course leave an extra 'and' at the end but if I'm on the right track, I think I could fix that.
It also puts a CR after each 'and'. There are ways around that , too. Just let me know what is or is not acceptable with this solution. I can solve both of these issues with an anonymous pl/sql block. just let me know how you would like me to proceed.
