I am looking for the easiest way to take a select and transform into some
sort of histogram...

select numeric_value from table_name;

should come back as

range             total
1-10                30
11-20              100
...

Guessing I could create a temp table and actually have oracle generate a
histogram for me then pull that back but wondering if there is a simple
function or procedure I can use. Thinking about this as I type so I apogise
if the answer turns out to be somewhat obvious.

Thanks,
Ethan
