Crosstab in TSQL

Does anyone know of any code to produce a crosstab table or
temp table? I found several examples of stored procs to do this,
however they just produce results. I need to produce a table
to use to update another table.
Thanks much,
Marc MillerA simple one
USE pubs
GO
SELECT
stor_id,
SUM(CASE YEAR(ord_date)
WHEN 1992 THEN qty
ELSE 0
END) AS c1992,
SUM(CASE YEAR(ord_date)
WHEN 1993 THEN qty
ELSE 0
END) AS c1993,
SUM(CASE YEAR(ord_date)
WHEN 1994 THEN qty
ELSE 0
END) AS c1994
FROM Sales
GROUP BY stor_id
ORDER BY stor_id

>|||This article describes various techniques for implementing a crosstab type
query. Basically, it's just a group by query.
http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2462
The result of any query can be output to a table or temporary table:
the SELECT.. INTO.. syntax will create a new table with the same column and
data type structure as the query result.
select
a,
b,
sum(cnt) as totcnt,
avg(cnt) as avgcnt
into
mycrosstab
from
mytable
group by
a,
b
the INSERT INTO.. SELECT.. syntax will insert the query result into an
existing table:
insert into mycrosstab
select
a,
b,
sum(cnt) as totcnt,
avg(cnt) as avgcnt
from
mytable
group by
a,
b
For temporary tables, just prefix the insert table with a # symbol.
insert into #mycrosstab . . .

Thanks! I took your suggestion a step further, becuase I the field names
can be variable. Here's what I did
(just for posterity I suppose, and anyone else trying to do the same.)
Temp table ##c_bt:
CUST_ACCT COLUMN_NAME AMOUNT
0123456 January 500.00
5464646 March 53.00
5161616 January 333.33
0123456 May 500.00
5464646 June 53.00
5161616 June 333.33
etc.
CODE:
DECLARE @.col varchar(20)
DECLARE @.DDL varchar(1000)
DECLARE curcols CURSOR
FOR select distinct column_name from ##c_bt order by column_name
OPEN curcols
SET @.DDL = 'Select cust_acct, '
FETCH NEXT FROM curcols INTO @.col
WHILE (@.@.fetch_status <> -1)
BEGIN
set @.DDL = @.DDL + ' SUM(CASE column_name WHEN ''' + rtrim(@.col) +''' THEN
amount ELSE 0 END) AS ' + rtrim(@.col) + ','
FETCH NEXT FROM curcols INTO @.col
END
CLOSE curcols
DEALLOCATE curcols
SET @.DDL = SUBSTRING(@.DDL,0,LEN(@.DDL)-1)
SET @.DDL = @.DDL + ' FROM ##c_bt GROUP BY cust_acct ORDER BY cust_acct'
EXEC(@.DDL)
Thanks again,
Marc

Two questions I'd liek to ask you.
1) Why do you need to use a global temporary table?
2) Why do you need to use a cursor?

1) The temp table need not be global, it was just the way I was
experimenting, but I do need a table
to join and update another table.
2) I'm using the cursor to loop through its results to discover the 'column
names' that I need to build
my SQL. The column names can differ from month to month for me,
depending on the source data.

I don't see any reasons to use a global temrorary table. Pls refer to the
BOL for more details
