Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to do a SELECT statement where I can denormalize my table. I am not sure if it is needed to create a new table at first and insert denormalized values into the created table.

example
original table:
ID XXX VALUES
1 a 10
1 b 15
1 c 8

And I want to use SELECT to get this table:
ID a b c
1 10 15 8

[code]
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT ID, XXX, VALUES
FROM original_table
) d
PIVOT
(
MAX(VALUES)
FOR XXX IN ([a], [b], [c])
) p
[/code]
