Here's one from work that allows you to do the same basic thing without
a separate cross table:

select a.lt ,b.perspective as XYZ_pers,b.averageresponsetime as XYZ_aver,b.lowestresponsetime as
XYZ_lowe,b.highestresponsetimeas XYZ_high,b.totalcount as XYZ_tota,c.perspective as ABC_pers,c.averageresponsetime as
ABC_aver,c.lowestresponsetimeas ABC_lowe,c.highestresponsetime as ABC_high,c.totalcount as ABC_tota  
from (select distinct date_trunc('minutes', lastflushtime) as lt from businessrequestsummarywhere lastflushtime between
'2005-03-1418:42:34' and '2005-03-21 18:42:34' and perspective in ('XYZ','ABC') 
) as a
left join (select date_trunc('minutes', lastflushtime) as lt,max(perspective) as
perspective,floor(avg(averageresponsetime))as averageresponsetime,min(lowestresponsetime) as
lowestresponsetime,max(highestresponsetime)as highestresponsetime,sum(totalcount) as totalcountfrom
businessrequestsummarywhere perspective ='XYZ'group by date_trunc('minutes', lastflushtime) 
) as b
on (a.lt=b.lt)
left join (select date_trunc('minutes', lastflushtime) as lt,max(perspective) as
perspective,floor(avg(averageresponsetime))as averageresponsetime,min(lowestresponsetime) as
lowestresponsetime,max(highestresponsetime)as highestresponsetime,sum(totalcount) as totalcountfrom
businessrequestsummarywhere perspective ='ABC'group by date_trunc('minutes', lastflushtime) 
) as c
on (a.lt=c.lt)

IT's generated by a script that makes it as big as we need for all the different perspectives.
