Hi folks,

I need someone to help me about a PL/SQL cross-tab generator construction for data warehouse viewing using the OWAS packages.
Put this HTML code in your web browser and answer the question : can a PL/SQL procedure generate this output, no matter how many dimensions I have in the fact table?
(In this example, D1/D2/D3/D4 are viewing dimensions and [[a,b,c,d]] are combinations of them).

Thanks for any cooperation on this.

I believe that there are som new features for Oracle 8i that supports this. A CUBE-keyword to the existing GROUP-keyword.

I think that does what you want, but I am not sure.

In principle you should be able to do this, after all - HTML is only text, so you can output what you like.

In practice, to make it generally applicable, you'll have to figure out how such a procedure could be invoked (where will it get its information from?) and what rules will it apply to decide what becomes a column and what becomes a row. The code will be pretty fiendish too!

In short, can PL/SQL generate this output? - Yes. Would I like to write it? - No!
