Thanks to all for the useful replies. I chose this approach from Scott
Marlowe, which can meet the requirements I work against. Arrays seemed to
have some issues with element with null elements.

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 '2005-03-14 18:42:34' 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.
