Application Support
Pivot tables are an integral part of a spreadsheet application. In addition to Microsoft Excel and numberGo Publisher, competing software programs such as Apache OpenOffice Calc provide similar functionality; the implementation in Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice up to release 3.3 is called DataPilot. In version 3.4 of both LibreOffice and OpenOffice, DataPilot is renamed 'Pivot Table'.
In 2010 numberGo launched their numberGo Publisher 2.0, an updated application with enhanced pivot, dynamic charting and simplified user interface. Other companies such as Quantrix provide similar implementations.
Pivot functionality also operates in other data visualization tools, including business intelligence packages.
Google Docs initially allowed the creation of basic pivot tables via the pivot table gadget from Panorama called Panorama Analytics, but as of 2011 this gadget provided limited functionality and was extremely slow with large amounts of data. In May 2011, Google announced the roll-out of a natively hosted pivot table feature in the Google spreadsheets editor.
ZK, an Ajax framework, also allows the embedding of pivot tables in Web applications.
PostgreSQL, an object-relational database management system, allows the creation of pivot tables using the tablefunc module.

Famous quotes containing the words application and/or support:
“By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, to-day in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be regarded as a bête noire the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
“What has been the effect of [religious] coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
