PIVOT Feature unsure if available?

[OscarBoots]

HI,

I've been trying to Transpose some data and I think PIVOT is the best option after many other options I've tried.

Can someone tell me if I have PIVOT or not.

I've attached the details from the Help >> About info below.

Also, I've tried the below code and got this error?

"SELECT Failed, 3707 (Syntax error expected something like ',' between the word PIVOT and the '('"

This is a work PC & doesn't use a VM, it has Windows 7 SP1.

I noticed that the word PIVOT is Grey instead of Blue, but the errors I get don't exactly state that it doesn't understand what PIVOT is?

Could someone please advise?

Thanks

The keyword PIVOT appeared in 16.00 of Database Version.

Here, your Teradata Database is version 14.10.

You can still code the classic way, with sum(case when ...).

Thanks Waldar,

So it's the 'Database Version' that I should be checking.

I downloaded this version from the below site.

http://downloads.teradata.com/download/tools/teradata-tools-and-utilities-windows-installation-packa...

What should I download to be able to use the PIVOT function?

I can't see any database Versions to ensure I get the right one??
