Hierarchical Query Operators
CONNECT, CONNECT BY, CONNECT BY PRIOR, and CONNECT BY ROOT will be dealt with on a separate page on Hierarchical Queries
 
Multiset Operators - Combine the results of two nested tables into a single nested table
Multiset CAST(MULTISET(<select statement> AS object_type)
See CAST page
Multiset Except <nested_table1> MULTISET
EXCEPT <ALL | DISTINCT <nested_table2>
SELECT customer_id, cust_address_ntab1
MULTISET EXCEPT DISTINCT cust_address_ntab2 RESULTS
FROM customer_demo;
Multiset Intersect <nested_table1> MULTISET
INTERSECT <ALL | DISTINCT <nested_table2>
SELECT customer_id, cust_address_ntab1
MULTISET INTERSECT DISTINCT cust_address_ntab2 RESULTS
FROM customer_demo;
Multiset Union <nested_table1> MULTISET
UNION <ALL | DISTINCT <nested_table2>
SELECT customer_id, cust_address_ntab1
MULTISET UNION DISTINCT cust_address_ntab2 RESULTS
FROM customer_demo;
 
Pivot Operators (new 11g)

Pivot
PIVOT [XML] (<aggregate function> (expression) [AS <alias>]
FOR (<column_list>)
IN <subquery>)
SELECT * FROM (
  SELECT program_id, customer_id, 1 CNT
  FROM airplanes)
PIVOT (SUM(cnt)
FOR customer_id
IN ('AAL', 'DAL', 'ILC', 'NWO', 'SAL', 'SWA', 'USAF'));

CREATE TABLE pivot_table AS
SELECT * FROM (
  SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR FROM order_date) year, order_mode, order_total
  FROM orders)
PIVOT (SUM(order_total)
FOR order_mode
IN ('direct' AS Store, 'online' AS Internet));

Unpivot
UNPIVOT [<INCLUDE | EXCLUDE> NULLS] (<column_list>) FOR (<column_list>)
IN (<column_list>) [AS (<constant_list>)])
CREATE TABLE pivot_table AS
SELECT * FROM (
  SELECT program_id, customer_id, 1 CNT
  FROM airplanes)
PIVOT (SUM(cnt) FOR customer_id IN ('AAL', 'DAL', 'ILC', 'NWO', 'SAL', 'SWA', 'USAF'));

SELECT * FROM pivot_table
UNPIVOT (program_id for program_id IN program_id) as (program_id);

SELECT * FROM pivot_table
UNPIVOT (yearly_total FOR order_mode IN (store AS 'direct', internet AS 'online'))
ORDER BY year, order_mode;

SELECT * FROM pivot_table
UNPIVOT INCLUDE NULLS 
(yearly_total FOR order_mode IN (store AS 'direct', internet AS 'online'))
ORDER BY year, order_mode;
