Reading between the lines, I am suspecting that you don't know in advance what p1, p2, p3 might be, or how many of them there would be. In that case, you will need to use dynamic pivoting. See here: http://www.sqlteam.com/article/dynamic-cross-tabs-pivot-tables or http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/jeffs/archive/2005/05/02/4842.aspx

If you do know the products in advance you can use the PIVOT operator available in SQL 2005 and higher. Another alternative, if you know the products in advance, is discussed here: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=158663
