Hi netters,

        CrosstabSql is an interactive query tool similar to sybase isql. What makes it different is the cross-tabulating extension which facilitates printing of data across columns.
It supports the following features currently :

  1. Cross tabulate the ouput across multiple keys. For eg : 1> select Region, Quarter, Product_cd, amount from SALES 2> CROSSTAB sum($4) ACROSS $2 BY $3
  2. go The output is as follows : Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 P1 1234 2343 2344 4353 P2 0 67779 0 8789
    .
    .
    .
    Pn 1234 234 234 324
        The CROSSTAB syntax is : 
        CROSSTAB aggregate_function($c)[,...] ACROSS $m,[...] BY $n,[...]

   b) Supports multiple edit buffers using History mechanism.
         
        I would like to know your opinion as to how useful this kind of a
product will be and is there any other similar product available ?

All kind feedback is most welcome :=)

Cheers,
