Re: SQL

This is actually pretty hard. The best I could come up with is

select id, A = case name when 'A' then count(*) else 0 end,
B = case name when 'B' then count(*) else 0 end,
C = case name when 'C' then count(*) else 0 end
from test
group by id, name

which doesn't really do what you want. I'm sure you could work out
something eventually, but that would probably take a long time. My
suggestion would be to actually create a temp table and use that instead.
Something like

Create table temp_a(marca int4,
condceddi int4,
boala int4,
obligatii int4)

insert into temp_a (marca)
select distinct marca
from a

update temp_a set condceddi = (select count(ma) from a as a
where a.id = temp_a.id
and name like 'A')

update temp_a set boaloa = (select count(ma) from a as a
where a.id = temp_a.id
and name like 'B')

update temp_a set obligatti = (select count(ma) from a as a
where a.id = temp_a.id
and name like 'C')

select * from temp_a

and then drop the table (or, better yet, create a temp table - but I'm not
sure how to do this in postgres).

If anyone knows a better way, I would be most interested to know.
