kontingenční tabulka v mysql

Vždy můžete vytvořit skript shellu, který dělá přesně to :-)

#!/bin/sh

mysql -BN test > /tmp/$$_tagnames.tmp <<SQL
select distinct tagname from test; 
SQL

cat > /tmp/$$_create_table.sql <<EOF
drop table if exists pivot;
create table pivot select 
EOF

while read tag; do
    echo "max(if(tagname = '$tag', value, null)) AS '$tag'," >> /tmp/$$_create_table.sql
done < /tmp/$$_tagnames.tmp

cat >> /tmp/$$_create_table.sql <<EOF
time
FROM test 
GROUP BY time;
select * from pivot;
EOF

mysql -Bt test < /tmp/$$_create_table.sql

rm /tmp/$$_create_table.sql
rm /tmp/$$_tagnames.tmp

Údaje:

mysql> select * from test;
