11G SQL pivot example?

Question

Hello,
Can anyone help me write a SQL pivot statement using 11G to do the following?:
Table columns
=========
Deliverable
Phase (For simplicity we'll make the total possible Phase values equal 1 to 13)
Delv_IN_Phase_Y_N Char(3) values 'Yes' or 'No'
I want to make a matrix with these 3 columns in the above table (in reality a complex view) :
- Deliverable is first column.
- Next 13 column headers display 1 to 13 (the posiible values contained in the 'Phase' column).
- The matrix values under the 'Phase' Column headers are the Yes/No values held in the Delv_in_Phase column.
Deliverable Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 ......... Phase 13
=========================================================
Product Market Plan Yes No No Yes No
Bid Plan No Yes No ...........................................
Contract Summary ................................................................................
Quality Plan .................................................................................
Thanks for any help in advance.

Just a simple example based on what I could grasp from your table description.
I assume you can't have more than 1 value (either 'yes' or 'no' for a given deliverable in each phase).

  3  select 'Product Market Plan' deliverable, 2 phase, 'YES' Delv_IN_Phase_Y_N from dual union all
  4  select 'Product Market Plan' deliverable, 3 phase, 'YES' Delv_IN_Phase_Y_N from dual union all

13  select 'Quality Plan', 3, 'NO' from dual)

15  SELECT *

17   PIVOT(MAX(delv_in_phase_y_n) FOR phase IN (1 AS phase_1, 2 AS phase_2, 3 AS phase_3))
18  /
DELIVERABLE         PHASE_1 PHASE_2 PHASE_3
Contract Summary    NO      NO      YES
Bid Plan            YES     NO      NO
Product Market Plan NO      YES     YES
Quality Plan        YES     YES     NO
SQL> You can play around and expand the pivot by adding the whole 13 values inside the "FOR phase IN (val1 as column1, etc)" just thought I'd keep it simple.
