Hi, the following query

select cust_id || ', ' || cust_name || ', ' || list(month::text || ', ' ||
cost || ', ' || revenue || ', ' || margin) as result from tmp122 group by
cust_id, cust_name;

*DISPLAYS* data like this:

result
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
991234, ABC, 2003-07-01, 10, 15, 5, 2003-08-01, 11, 17, 6, 2003-09-01, 12,
19, 7
991235, XYZ, 2003-07-01, 13, 21, 8, 2003-08-01, 12, 19, 7, 2003-09-01, 11,
17, 6
(2 rows)

-- Original data for test --
drop table tmp122;
create temp table tmp122 (
cust_id integer,
cust_name varchar,
month date,
cost integer,
revenue integer,
margin integer
);

copy tmp122 from stdin;
991234 ABC 2003-07-01 10 15 5
991234 ABC 2003-08-01 11 17 6
991234 ABC 2003-09-01 12 19 7
991235 XYZ 2003-07-01 13 21 8
