What Hacker News says?
Hmm, haven't seen those a ton at work / in interviews! Would love to see some examples though if you have any. Mode's SQL tutorial uses SUM(CASE ...) and CROSS JOIN to mimic pivots: https://mode.com/sql-tutorial/sql-pivot-table/

HN discussionAll the commercial ones support it, but most of them are expensive. Mode has a free plan which allows you to connect to BQ, run queries and then analyze the result sets in Jupyter. It's pretty cool for smaller stuff https://mode.com/compare-plans/
