See the crosstab function in contrib/tablefunc. Here's what is looks
like given the above data:
select * from crosstab(
'select thedate, id_punto, avg(flow) from muestras_rambla
group by thedate, id_punto order by 1,2',
'select distinct id_punto from muestras_rambla
order by 1'
) as (thedate timestamp with time zone,
c1 float8, c2 float8, c3 float8, c4 float8, c6 float8);
thedate | c1 | c2 | c3 | c4 | c6

2003-02-18 15:00:00-08 | 911.43 | | | |

This form of crosstab() requires 7.4RC1 or a 7.3 backpatched copy from here:
