Finally.

No support for solaris I see.

As far as I know, Solaris 9 and 10 64 bit will be supported, as normal. I don't know exactly which date it will follow on but it's in the plan that I've been teaching. ; )

Yup - I have a meeting with the new product manager on Monday - plan to ask a lot of questions about it.

Any good news on the inbuilt vertical pivot feature?

eostic · Post by **eostic** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 4:56 pm

Yes....I've tried it. It works well. There's a new "Pivot Enterprise Stage" that has a pull down for both horizontal and vertical. Vertical asks you for an "array" size (the number of columns that you want to create from "n" rows, and then it generates the column names so you can "map" them to the output link.

I'll probably still resort to old tricks and techniques at times, but it's there, and it works.
