Ok I have a database that includes two tables. A datatable that looks like:
Code:

    a          b          c          d            e          f          g          h          i

and a metadata table that looks like:
Code:

  variable      descritpion
1        a some description
2        b some description
3        c some description

I want to select columns from the datatable based on the variable column in the metadata table. Such that I end up with:
Code:

    a          b          c
1  -2.1772586  0.54904839 -0.09064777
2  0.8191437 -0.29184975  0.55046901
3  0.8557512 -0.08171739  0.14697551
4  0.3146546 -1.83335248 -0.94553173
5  -0.4509690 -0.95023522  0.98457069
6  -1.1979267 -0.01669569 -1.18147487
7  -0.4765806  0.15399498  0.22767422
8  -1.7473071  0.98079991 -0.23776151
9  -1.3483016 -0.91244697 -0.83976553
10 -1.0991387 -0.61460572  0.75277683

Thus I need to do something like:

SELECT [pivot variable.metadata] FROM datatable;

Anyone know how to do the pivot of the metadata.variable column in SQLite?
