Re: Does Oracle8 support native crosstab queries?

No native cross-tab queries, but you can *emulate* a crosstab using the DECODE function. Take a look in the documentation. Using the DECODE function will probably be more efficient than doing a more common select and cross-tabbing it in the application (less data sent out on response).

Good luck,
Dave
