Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I have the following database table structure:
id, size, qty, price 1 , 1 , 100, 43 2 , 1 , 250, 52 4 , 2 , 100, 45 5 , 2 , 250, 55 6 , 3 , 100, 50 7 , 3 , 250, 56 8 , 4 , 200, 55 9 , 5 , 250, 61
I am looking to get this kind of output:
Sizes | |||||
QTY | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
100 | $43 | $45 | $50 | ||
200 | $55 | ||||
250 | $52 | $55 | $56 | $61 |
My thought that this requires three sql selects, first two to get distinct values of sizes, qty and the 3rd to build data structure out of it.
But I couldn't imagine the data structure that could give me the output shown above.
Therefore I need your help on the most appropriate solution for this ( the data structure that works best & if this can be done in one sql query ).
