I have a query which join 5 tables say my result is Warehouse ProductName Features Price Manf I just need to make some analysis and need to select any 5 features from Features column for each productname. There can be 10 - 50 features mentioned in the table with features. Say my result it like only for productname and features column which come from diff tables. Here I am getting more than 5 features I need to reduce that to 5 for each. So how do I do this. Productname Features AAAAA 12 AAAAA 145 AAAAA 23 AAAAA 34234 AAAAA 234234 AAAAA 32234 AAAAA 134234 AAAAA 21 AAAAA 14 AAAAA 556 BBBBB 19 BBBBB 23 BBBBB 6 BBBBB 1 BBBBB 2 BBBBB 11 BBBBB 15 BBBBB 12 BBBBB 6 BBBBB 4 Also very important this need to be done is how do i avoid repititions and do the cross- tab join and make only one row for one product name and get the result like this Productname Features AAAAA 12, 45, 234, 256, 25677, 24223........ BBBBB 12,121, 144, 58885, 8888, 99999..... CCCCC 111, 144, 2333, 22333, 22221.......
