Thanks Mark
Agreed the PIVOT feature is wonderful. However I am stuck with the customer using Firebird(no complaints). But I still need a solution as to how go ahead?
Please any suggestions or guidance, seeing as you have done this already?

have to strongly disagree with that. PIVOT is a strong feature and
greatly simplifies producing a crosstab, especially if you want to do
additional processing in a query with the result of that crosstab.
