Thanks to Scott and Taras for pointing me to the crosstab functions. I
only had a quick look but they seem very helpful!
Kind regards,
Felix

I think you should look at crosstab contrib module.

Here you go. I have some tables created like this:
CREATE TABLE player(
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name varchar(20)
);
CREATE TABLE transfer(
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
fromID

Then you'll have to build a query in plpgs

...maybe?
Thanks Ray!
No, "entry_with_different_name" should be the result of "SELECT name
FROM colnames WITH id=1".
Kind regards,

Thanks for your quick response!

select (SELECT name from colnames WHERE id=1) as entry from entries;

Hi,
I would like to set an alias name for a column from a subquery, i.e.
something like this:
SELECT entry AS (SELECT name from colnames WHERE id=1) from entries ;
Obviously it doesn't work _this_ way, but is there _any_ way to do it?
Kind regards,
Felix
