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:
“Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The moral qualities are more apt to grow when a human being is useful, and they increase in the woman who helps to support the family rather than in the one who gives herself to idleness and fashionable frivolities.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
