Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> REPOST: Re: Sqlplus vertical output
Yes, but it isn't pretty - you have to use a UNION query and I'm assuming
you will only want to display a single row -
SELECT mytable.a as col_head
FROM mytable
UNION
SELECT mytable.b as col_head
FROM mytable
UNION
SELECT mytable.c as col_head
FROM mytable
If you want more than row from the original mytable, you can use a subquery like this. There is probably a more efficient way to do this; I bill $150 / hr to find it ;) - this example will work on scott/tiger database. You need a UNION for each column.
SELECT colhead.col_head
FROM EMP en,
(select empno, ename as col_head from emp
UNION
select empno, to_CHAR(empno) as col_head from emp) colhead
WHERE en.empno = colhead.empno
