How is this a Data Guarg question?
Do you post in a random forum?

Search for "pivot".

Regards
Michel

I'm not familiar with 11g (yet) so I can't tell about the pivoting capabilities there but in older Oracle versions you are limited:

1. you know how many rows you will retrieve. Then you can make separate columns for each row using a decode/case construction.
2. you don't know how many rows you will retrieve. You can concatenate (using CONCAT_ALL, STRAGG, ...) the contents to a single string.

Search the board for more info.
