Hi;

I know this is NOT strictly an SQL answer, but I have just done this
using Perl.

I do cheat in the SQL by ||'!'|| each of the columns into one wide "set
lines 5000" row per row set.
Then a simple perl script to "pivot" all this into a nice tall Excel
sheet for my user(s).

Perl is basically :-
While (<>){
    read each line into an array

}

{
   Foreach column
       foreach row
             print cell

}

I currently pivot over 300 columns into no more than 25 rows using
"where ... and rownum < 25"
Made my life much easier, and my butt shines!!
I even union'ed an header row so users can see each named Excel row.

Sorry if this is no help.  Just my bit to the list.

Regards
Ian
