> I tried to output an array column instead of multiple columns using the optional parameter _output_type_, but it throws an error:
> {code:sql}
> --This is based on the example from the documentation page
> --This works ok
> SELECT madlib.pivot(source_table := 'pivset', out_table := 'pivout', index := 'id', pivot_cols := 'piv', pivot_values := 'val');
>  pivot 
> -------
>  
> (1 row)
> --Adding the optional parameter, output_type, doesn't work:
> SELECT madlib.pivot(source_table := 'pivset', out_table := 'pivout', index := 'id', pivot_cols := 'piv', pivot_values := 'val', output_type := 'array');
> ERROR:  function madlib.pivot(source_table => unknown, out_table => unknown, index => unknown, pivot_cols => unknown, pivot_values => unknown, output_type => unknown) does not exist
> {code}
> Looking at the corresponding _madlib.pivot()_ function, there's no parameter defined as _default_, so it seems that you can't have optional parameters as stated on the documentation?
