We all love graphs. We all love SQL hacks. We all know the SQL hack which displays a character-based graph (example follows for those unfamiliar). But we all love horizontal graphs, not vertical ones. We are used to the X axis being horizontal, Y being vertical. Not vice versa. In this post I’ll present a SQL hack which rotates a vertical graph to horizontal. In fact, the technique shown will rotate any ‘textual image’; but graphs are a nice example.
