Ethan,
Is it possible for you to use your function instead of decode? I guess
that way you can evaluate situations wherein decode would not work. That way
you could have it work on older versions of Oracle.

Anyone got a good example of flipping a range of values into columner
buckets. I have done this in the past but my solutions always seem so
convoluted, it seems I have seen more elegant examples in the past. I want
to use decode so it will run on older versions of Oracle.
Pseudo Example:
select
sum(decode(if value between 0 and 64 then return 1 else 0))
count_of_this_bucket,
sum(decode(if value between 65 and 128 then return 1 else 0))
count_of_this_bucket,...
from
table
Thanks,
Ethan
