Unable to PIVOT data I have

Question

I have a table that contains the following fields:
FORM_TYPE___FORM_YEAR___LINE_ITEM___BUCKET
-----DW23----------- 2008----------------1-------------34
-----DW23----------- 2008----------------11------------12
-----DW23----------- 2008----------------87------------16
-----DW23----------- 2008----------------14------------3
For the data above, I am trying to output each LINE_ITEM as a column, with the corresponding BUCKET as the data, like so:
FORM_TYPE____FORM_YEAR______1_____11____87____14
----DW23-----------2008----------------34-------12-----16-------3
I am running on 11g, so I read about the PIVOT function, but you can only use it on aggregate data (if I am understanding the documentation). Does anyone have any suggestions on accomplishing this?
Thanks,
David

Answer 1

Hi,
Learning from there : {message:id=9360005}
I come to this :Scott@my11g SQL>with t(FORM_TYPE,FORM_YEAR,LINE_ITEM,BUCKET)
  2  as (
  3       select 'DW23','2008',1,34 from dual
  4       union all select 'DW23','2008',11,12 from dual
  5       union all select 'DW23','2008',87,16 from dual
  6       union all select 'DW23','2008',14,3 from dual
  7  )
  8  select *
  9  from t
10  pivot(
11       max(bucket)
12       for line_item in (1,11,87,14)
13  ) ;
FORM FORM          1         11         87         14
DW23 2008         34         12         16          3
