Dear users,
I have this problem 

I have a table where there are 20 columns named
vinc1, vinc2, vinc3, vinc4, etc....

the values contained into each column are simply 1 or 0  (each column is
dichotomic)
1 means presence
0 means absence

I would obtain a column (new_column) containg the name of the columns,
comma separated, where the value is = 1

for example:

vinc1    vinc2    vinc3    vinc4    new_column
1    0    1    0    vinc1,vinc3
0    0    0    1    vinc4
0    1    1    1    vinc2,vinc3,vinc4

can someone help me to find the best way to obtain this result???
thank you very much

Ivan
