Ethan,

Is it possible for you to use your function instead of decode? I guess that way you can evaluate situations wherein decode would not work. That way you could have it work on older versions of Oracle.

Anyone got a good example of flipping a range of values into columner buckets. I have done this in the past but my solutions always seem so convoluted, it seems I have seen more elegant examples in the past. I want to use decode so it will run on older versions of Oracle.

Pseudo Example:

select

sum(decode(if value between 0 and 64 then return 1 else 0)) count_of_this_bucket,

sum(decode(if value between 65 and 128 then return 1 else 0)) count_of_this_bucket,...
from

table

Thanks,
Ethan
