Re: Need sql to pull data from terribly architected table

Thanks for the answers. But I also have a predicate...

select col1,col2 from foo where col4='c4' and col5 <> 'xxx';

How is that done?

How about:
oops - I had some malformed air code

SELECT my_ids.id<http://my_ids.id>, ARRAY_AGG( ( property, value ) order by (property, value) )
FROM my_ids
GROUP BY id
ORDER BY id;
