I haven't noticed any posting showing your exact table definition, but
here's more still running on my assumptions and short-cuts. Of course
this would all be trivial if the data were sucked into any reasonable
language adn delt with there for shipment to the UI.
Adding this list of accomplished tasks (the first diagonal)
insert into bingo values
('bingo','rjs','task0',0, 0),
('bingo','rjs','task6',1, 1),
('bingo','rjs','task12',2, 2),
('bingo','rjs','task18',3, 3),
('bingo','rjs','task24',4, 4)
;
\pset null 'not done'-- you'll probably need to use outer joins and to
coalesce null values.
select r,c,
(select task from bingo i where c = 0 and username = 'rjs'
and i.task = b.task and mod(r,5) = 0) as "B",
(select task from bingo i where c = 1 and username = 'rjs'
and i.task = b.task and mod(r,5) = 1) as "I",
(select task from bingo i where c = 2 and username = 'rjs'
and i.task = b.task and mod(r,5) = 2) as "N",
(select task from bingo i where c = 3 and username = 'rjs'
and i.task = b.task and mod(r,5) = 3) as "G",
(select task from bingo i where c = 4 and username = 'rjs'
and i.task = b.task and mod(r,5) = 4) as "O"
from bingo b
where username = 'rjs'
;
r | c | B | I | N | G | O
---+---+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------
0 | 0 | task0 | not done | not done | not done | not done
1 | 1 | not done | task6 | not done | not done | not done
2 | 2 | not done | not done | task12 | not done | not done
3 | 3 | not done | not done | not done | task18 | not done
4 | 4 | not done | not done | not done | not done | task24
