Hi All,

I have a table1:

name  |  sub  |  week|status
stu1  |  math |  1  |  yes
stu1  |  eng  |  1  |  
stu1  |  sci  |  1  |  no
stu1  |  math |  2  |  yes
stu1  |  eng  |  2  |  
stu1  |  sci  |  2  |  yes



I need a pivot like:

name  |  sub  |  week1 |  week2
stu1  |  math |  yes  |  yes
stu1  |  eng  |      |  
stu1  |  sci  |  no  |  yes


I need this output for both 11g and 10g (something that works for both).

What I have tried:

I had requirement of same output, only instead of 'yes' and 'no', there were numbers
Since the server has 10g, my query was roughly:

select name, sub,
sum(case when week=1 then case when sub='math' then status
                               when sub='eng' then status
                               when sub='sci' then status end end) as week1,
sum(case when week=2 then case when sub='math' then status 
                               when sub='eng' then status 
                               when sub='sci' then status end end) as week2
from(query for table1)
group by name, sub;


But here aggregate function is not working on strings 'yes' or 'no'.
Please help!!

You don't have a column called score.

yes. This query is the old one with old table. Old table is same as table1. But instead of column 'status'(varchar2) it was column 'score'(number).

the sum function will not work on status which is string, so I am not able to find a way to group the columns name and sub.

What would you expect the sum of the strings "Yes" and "No" to be? "Yes", "No", "YesNo", or something else?

sum is for numbers...that's why I was looking for aggregate function for string...max() worked...
