I see no response; so I thought I'd take a stab at it. I don't have 8.3
yet so I cannot test my idea. I read the docs, and I think what you
need to do is create SQL that will produce
cat attr val
---- ----- ----
cat1 attr1 0.34
cat1 attr2 0.12
cat1 attr3 0.22
cat2 attr1 0.11
cat2 attr2 0.67
cat2 attr3 0.31
That pass the SQL into crosstab().
