Is this possible in Oracle SQL?

[Quoted] [Quoted] I wonder if anyone can help with this SQL syntax problem...

I have 2 tables linked by "ID" as follows:

Header Table                            Detail Table

ID    DATE    TOTAL                ID     ANLAYSIS_CODE    ANAL_TOTAL

---------------------------- --------------------------------
-----------------------
[Quoted] 1 10/4/00 12009 1 A 120 2 11/4/00 19098 1 B 340 3 12/4/00 23889 2 A 98 2 B 67 3 A 13 3 B
28

I need a query which will produce an output like this from the two tables:

[Quoted] DATE                A                    B            TOTAL

--------------------------------------------------------------
10/4/00 120 340 12009 11/4/00 98 67 19098 12/4/00 13 28 23889

i.e. the data in the ANALYSIS_CODE field in the detail table becomes the [Quoted] heading of a column in the results and the associated ANAL_TOTAL becomes the [Quoted] data of this column.

Is this possible in Oracle 8i ? I am lead to believe it is possible in MS [Quoted] Access using a TRANSPOSE keyword (or similar) in the SELECT statement.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
