Here's what I'm trying to do:

I have columns :


Code:
BASKET          FRUIT                         
--------        -----                         
BASKET#1        APPLE                         
BASKET#1        BANANA                       
BASKET#1        ORANGE                       
                                             
BASKET#2        PINEAPPLE                     
BASKET#2        BANANA                       
BASKET#2        ORANGE                       
                                             
BASKET#3        APPLE                         
BASKET#3        PEACH                         
BASKET#3        BANANA       



How can I do a query :

SELECT BASKET,
FRUIT
WHERE FRUIT = 'BANANA'

and have ALL of the fruits associated with that basket
displayed across the line, not just show the fruit if it's a BANANA ?
i.e. this:

Code:
BASKET#1  APPLE      BANANA   ORANGE   
BASKET#2  PINEAPPLE  BANANA   ORANGE   
BASKET#3  APPLE      PEACH    BANANA   

Not:
BASKET#1 BANANA
BASKET#2 BANANA
BASKET#3 BANANA

Kolusu,

Basket is the key field.... So the number of occurrences of 'Basket' would
depend on the number of occurrences of 'Fruit'. 'Basket's maximum field length is 10.

'Fruit' can occur 15 times per 'Basket' ... Its maximum field length is 10 also...

Thanks.
