i'm trying turn following resultset

meetings covers   date         typename 1         3       2010-10-14   breakfast 1         1       2010-10-14   lunchcooked 2         4       2010-10-15   breakfast 1         3       2010-10-18   breakfast 1         3       2010-10-19   breakfast 1         1       2010-10-19   lunchsandwich 1         3       2010-10-20   breakfast 1         3       2010-10-21   breakfast 1         3       2010-10-22   breakfast 

into format following fields

date breakfastmeetings breakfastcovers lunchsandwichmeetings lunchsandwichcovers lunchcookedmeetings lunchcookedcovers 

am right in thinking can done pivot tables? pointers great otherwise i'm going end taking sort of hacky temp table route data format.

here's way it. needs , unpivot , pivot operation. unpivot combines meetings , covers single column , changes typename values desired column names.

the pivot uses results of unpivot provide final format.

select thedate, breakfastmeetings, breakfastcovers, lunchsandwichmeetings,     lunchsandwichcovers, lunchcookedmeetings, lunchcookedcovers (     -- unpivot put counts in single column , create new type names     select thedate, typename + meetingcover typename, rowcounts     (select thedate, typename, meetings, covers         mytable         ) p         unpivot (rowcounts meetingcover in (meetings, covers)         ) unpivottable     ) source     -- pivot unpivoted data create new columns     pivot ( max(rowcounts) typename in (breakfastmeetings, breakfastcovers,                                             lunchsandwichmeetings,                                             lunchsandwichcovers,                                             lunchcookedmeetings,                                             lunchcookedcovers) ) pivottable order thedate
