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:
“The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“American feminists have generally stressed the ways in which men and women should be equal and have therefore tried to put aside differences.... Social feminists [in Europe] ... believe that men and society at large should provide systematic support to women in recognition of their dual role as mothers and workers.”
—Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
