PIVOT Views

Can any one tell me, how I can Pivot a view's result in Oracle SQL please?

Reason for Question is that we have reports in Access which run off views on our Oracle Database but the Pivoting is taking a considerable amount of time and we are wondering if we could save time by performing the pivot in Oracle.

I have seen in Access and other web sites where is says something like
Transform
Select .. ..
Pivot
Does this type of function exist in Oracle?

I not familar with the workings of Oracle PL/SQL or Advance SQL just the basic's. So if there is some book or other source you can point me to that will cover this then that will do.


Thank you
