Subject: For each record in SELECT

Hi,

I have a question here:

I have a table with this fields:

month
description
amount

now I have to write a query that retrieves the sum of the amount from
the minimum month to the maximum month registered for each diferent
description.

Of course there are cases when a particular description has not record
for all the months in that period.  I mean, suppouse you have this
records:

month	description	amount
-----------------------------------------------
June	description1	100	
July	description1	500
August	description1	600
June	description2	300
August	description2	400

how you write a query that outputs something like this:

            	June	July	August
------------------------------------------
description1 |	100	500	600
description2 |	300	0	400

My problem is for the 0 value.

I hope I've explained clearly my question.

Thanks for the help.

Best Regards.
