Thank you very much. Creating a function seems to be a good idea :)

Therefore, the column number would be 1000+. I would need to perform simple aggregate function such as count, sum or average on each cashflow projected. So if there is anyway of doing this? Will there be anything like define a macro in C that I can manipulate multiple columns by simple word that representing them. Better to design a data model that doesn't have so many columns. Otherwise generating dynamic SQL via the for,at function and loops and such is your best bet. Can be down in pl/pgsql or in your preferred programming language. Psql variables can maybe be useful too. David J.
