I have a table with the following structure.

 CHECK_DATE                                             DATE
 PHYRDS                                                 NUMBER(20)
 PHYWRTS                                                NUMBER(20)
 PHYBLKRD                                               NUMBER(20)
 PHYBLKWRT                                              NUMBER(20)
 FILE#                                                       NUMBER
 FILE_NAME                                              VARCHAR2(120)

This records the IO on the different datafiles every 3 minutes.

I want to run a report on this table but I want the output to display on file# as a heading.Similar to iostat on UNIX.

So my output might be:

Check DATE               FIle1                          File2
     File3 etc...............
               PHYRDS   PHYWRTS               PHYRDS   PHYWRTS

11:18:26            13038        211                    18         14
11:33:44            14290        243                    18         14
11:40:45            15008        245                    18         14
11:45:37            15459        249                    18         14
11:48:38            15776        250                    18         14
11:51:37            15864        251                    18         14
11:54:37            16029        254                    18         14
11:57:39            16210        254                    18         14
12:00:40            16311        254                    18         14
12:03:40            16439        256                    18         14

I could do this as a bit of plsq but Is it possible to generate this report with one bit of sql. (views,inline views, decodes. etc)
