How to make a crystal report with following view or Postgres crosstab() function?

Question

I want to make a crystal report from the following view:

I need to make a report with the above view vConsolPrchOrd that looks like:

As you can see this is based on the first 3 Rows in my view vConsolPrchOrd.

Answer 1

After trying a lot i myself found a solution for this, making a crosstab crystalreport seems not good to me so i will explain what i have done is:

Installed the additional module tablefunc which provides the function crosstab(). Since i am PostgreSQL 9.1 i can use CREATE EXTENSION for that

CREATE EXTENSION tablefunc;

and converted rows into columns using the following query

select * from crosstab(' select product,branch,orderqty from vConsolPrchOrd ORDER  by product ',$$values(1::int),(3),(4),(5),(6)$$) as tbl("product" character varying,"1"  numeric,"3" numeric,"4" numeric,"5" numeric,"6" numeric) order by product asc limit 5

AFTER using crosstab
