Split rows into columns [message #638732]

Hi all,

Is there an easy way to split rows into columns?

I have the following bit of code which returns two totals


Select sum(amount)amount from table_a 
union
select sum(amount) amount from table_b

which looks like this

800
900

but I would like it as follows

column a column b
800 900

Is this possible?

Many thanks Smile

Such as this simple query:

SQL> select (select sum(deptno) from dept) a,
  2         (select sum(empno)  from emp ) b
  3  from dual;

         A          B
---------- ----------
       100     108172

SQL>

For your information, you have to give your DATABASE version not your client tool one which by the way you didn't specify.
