Combine multiple rows into single value

I have the following results -
id staff
001 Joe
001 Jim
001 Dave
002 Kim
002 Pat
002 Alan
003 Peter
004 Mick
004 Paddy
005 Steve
005 Eric
I want to have the results displayed as follows -
id staff
001 Joe,Jim,Dave
002 Kim,Pat,Alan
003 Peter
004 Mick,Paddy
005 Steve, Eric
I have had a play about with this sort of thing before and I think SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH will need to be used? Not really 100% sure though.
All help will be appreciated.
Cheers.

Having a bit of trouble getting these solutions to work.
Heres another example to try and show what my problem is...
I have a table with the following -
Region Country_name
Britain England
Britain Scotland
Britain Wales
Europe Spain
Europe Italy
Europe France
Running the following Script...
SELECT distinct region, SUBSTR (SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (country_name , ','), 2) csv
FROM (SELECT region, country_name , ROW_NUMBER () OVER (partition by region ORDER BY region ) rn,
COUNT (*) OVER (partition by region ) cnt
FROM countries)
WHERE rn = cnt
START WITH rn = 1
CONNECT BY rn = PRIOR rn + 1;
I get the results ...
Britain      England,Italy,Scotland
Europe      England,Italy,France
Britain      England,Wales,Scotland
Britain      Spain,Wales,Scotland
Europe      Spain,Italy,France
Britain      Spain,Italy,Scotland
Europe      England,Wales,France
Europe      Spain,Wales,France
Which is clearly wrong, I want
Britain      England,Italy,Scotland
Europe Spain,Italy,France
and thats all!

I want to show the same data into single row with dynamically generating columns for DEPT. I want show like below.Dynamic numbers of columns eh! Tricky.
If you understand how SQL statements are executed it's along these lines...
1. Open Cursor
2. Parse SQL statement and determine columns
3. Bind in any input values
4. Fetch data
5. Bind out values to columns
6. Repeat step 3 until no more data
7. Close cursor
Now, you're expecting that you can determine the columns (step 2) from the fetched data (step 4 onwards). You can't. The SQL engine needs to know the expected columns before any data is fetched so, it can't base the number of columns on the data itself.
If you need that requirement, you would need to query the data first and build up a dynamic query based on the data and then execute that dynamically built query to fetch the data and pivot it into those columns, which means that you have queried the data twice. Not good practice and not good (or simple) coding.
What you're talking of doing is something that should be handled at the presentation/interface layer, not as part of the data fetch.
Typically these sorts of things are handled most easily in report generation/writer tools such as Oracle Reports, Business Objects etc. where they fetch the data from the database and then process it to format it on the display, pivoting the results as required.
It's not something that lends itself to be easily achieved in SQL. Yes, SQL can do pivoting of data quite easily, but NOT with a dynamic number of columns.
If you were to specify that there is a maximum number of columns that you could get (rather than wanting it dynamic), then you can do it simply in SQL with the max-decode method...

Assumed the date values are actually DATE types.
Partition on DT and RNO can be amended as per your requirement..
And assumed your sample data has a typo..

Combine multiple rows in single row

I am new to SQL server and i am trying to combine multiple row in single row but i am not able to do it.Can anyone help me out?
Input :
Id |RED |BUY |BSW
1328 NULL NULL 0.05
1328 NULL 0.06 NULL
1328 0.01 NULL NULL
1328 0.05 NULL NULL
1329 NULL NULL 0.05
1329 NULL 0.05 NULL
1329 0.05 NULL NULL
Output
Id |RED |BUY |BSW
1328 0.01 0.06 0.05
1328 0.05 NULL NULL
1329 0.05 0.05 0.05

Actually I am consolidating above result into text file and sending it to external system.Main aim is to remove NULL values and arrange the data as expected output.
Also expected output can be
Id         |RED
|BUY    |BSW
1328        0.05
0.06    0.05
1328        0.01
NULL    NULL
Or
Id         |RED
|BUY    |BSW
1328        0.01
0.06    0.05
1328        0.05
NULL    NULL
for Id= 1328.

Merge multiple rows into single row (but multiple columns)

How to merge multiple rows into single row (but multiple columns) efficiently.
For example
IDVal IDDesc IdNum Id_Information_Type Attribute_1 Attribute_2 Attribute_3 Attribute_4 Attribute_5
23 asdc 1 Location USA NM ABQ Four Seasons 87106
23 asdc 1 Stats 2300 91.7 8.2 85432
23 asdc 1 Audit 1996 June 17 1200
65 affc 2 Location USA TX AUS Hilton 92305
65 affc 2 Stats 5510 42.7 46 9999
65 affc 2 Audit 1996 July 172 1100
where different attributes mean different thing for each Information_type.
For example for Information_Type=Location
Attribute_1 means Country
Attribute_2 means State and so on.
For example for Information_Type=Stats
Attribute_1 means Population
Attribute_2 means American Ethnicity percentage and so on.
I want to create a view that shows like below:
IDVal IDDesc IDNum Country State City Hotel ZipCode Population American% Other% Area Audit Year AuditMonth Audit Type AuditTime
23 asdc 1 USA NM ABQ FourSeasons 87106 2300 91.7 46 85432 1996 June 17 1200

Hi,
That's called Pivoting . The forum FAQ has a section on this subject: {message:id=9360005}
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post your best attempt, along with a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data. (You did post the results you wanted, but they're very hard to read because they're not formatted. Use \ tags, as described in the forum FAQ, below.)
Explain, using specific examples, how you get the results you want from the data given.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0). This is always important, but especially so with pivots.
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}

To Combine Multiple STOu2019s into Single Delivery

Hi,
What are the configuration settings to be done to combine multiple STOu2019s into one single delivery in VL10B.
My requirement is to combine multiple STOu2019s contains different DELIVERY DATES and having SAME SUPPLYING AND RECEIVING PLANT into one single delivery.
Thanks & Regards,
Victor.

Hi
Delivery in STO is created for single order and for same delivery date, same delivery no. for different delivery date and for multiple STO is not possible and its not logically correct,since after creation of delivery you will be doing picking and packing and Goods Issue.

in this output last three records have same time change but i have populated into three different columns i want to make it as SINGLE Row Record.
Thanks!!

We don't need script task for this. Use TSQL in the datasource. Refer below example
DECLARE @TEMP TABLE(ID INT, [VALUE] NVARCHAR(30))
INSERT INTO @TEMP VALUES(1 , 'MAZ')
INSERT INTO @TEMP VALUES(1 , 'HON')
INSERT INTO @TEMP VALUES(1 , 'FOR')
INSERT INTO @TEMP VALUES(2 , 'JEEP')
INSERT INTO @TEMP VALUES(2 , 'CHE')
INSERT INTO @TEMP VALUES(3 , 'NIS')
INSERT INTO @TEMP VALUES(4 , 'GMC')
INSERT INTO @TEMP VALUES(4 , 'ACC')
INSERT INTO @TEMP VALUES(4 , 'LEX')
SELECT [id],
Stuff((SELECT ',' + [VALUE]
FROM @TEMP
WHERE [id] = a.[id]
FOR xml path('')), 1, 1, '') [VALUE]
FROM @TEMP a

but not able to done the same at IDoc control record level.
My problem is, Multiple IDocs are created for single record. There is no processing points available for IDoc control record to use on_change_trasfer_record.

For u need to change the file format into the below structure.
H,<filed1>,<filed2>,.........................
I,<filed1>,<filed2>,.............................
I,<filed1>,<filed2>,...........................
I,<filed1>,<filed2>,.............................
H,<filed1>,<filed2>,.............................
I,<filed1>,<filed2>,................................
sepcify an indicator "H" for header record, and "I" for item record.
once u prepare the file as above.
now in ur LSMW Source structure, declare a filed called "Identifier" both for header structure and Item structure as the first field.
Specify the "Identifying field content" as "H" for header record and "I" for item record.
Continue the remaining mapping as usual.
Hope this helps.

Combine 2 rows into single row?

I have a table A which has information related to a process. For process completion there exist 2 rows. One has in it the total elapsed time, the time the entire process (which is multipart) begin and end time, but the columns related to rows processed are blank. Another related row has a start, end and elapsed time in it -- which I don't want -- but it has the row counts that I do want.
I want to take these 2 rows, combine the relevant information into 1 row and insert that row into table B.
I know I could insert from the first row and then come back and update it from the second row, but I hate having to read Table A twice. Any suggestions?

I meant is there a way to do it without using a table?
LISA86
We have not used any extra table. Ok, Try the below:
Select distinct
names= REPLACE(
Select a.Name as [data()]
From YOURTABLENAME A
Where A.Rnk = b.Rnk
Order by a.Name
FOR XML PATH ('') ), ' ', ',') ,Rnk
From YOURTABLENAME B Order by Rnk

Combining multiple rows into a single row

Hi all,
I have a tricky situation in a HR select.
Imagine I have a dataset as below, simplified of course.
Name Start Date End date Job Title Salary
Tom 01/01/07 02/03/08 Gopher £500
Tom 03/03/08 jobsworth £600
Rick 04/05/09 Painter £500
Harry 02/06/07 02/06/08 Gardener £300
Harry 03/06/08 03/06/09 Runner £200
Harry 04/06/09 Cook £400
now, I need to select from above and return 3 rows so it looks as below
name start date enddate title salary start date enddate title salary start date enddate title salary etc etc
tom 01/01/07 02/03/08 gopher £500 03/03/08 blah 600
Rick 04/05/09 painter £500
harry etc etc etc
Now, I know how to select onto one row ok, asumming that each employee has a fixed number of roles but the problem is that each employee has a different number of jobs, one could have had 5 while another 50 and I do not know the maximum at this time.
Anyone have any ideas on how to appraoch this?
tia,

Ideally this should be done in a suitable reporting tool.
Standard SQL requires a deterministic number of columns to be known at parse time i.e. before the data is fetched it needs to know how many columns are being returned.
If you know there is a fixed maximum to the number of columns that can be returned you can use one of the various pivot methods (search the forum) which differ depending on whether you're using 9i, 10g or 11g database.
If you can't determine a maximum number of columns you're pretty much stuck, unless you want to write some clever interfacing to the oracle ODCI as demonstrated in this thread:
How to pipeline a function with a dynamic number of columns?
Personally, I believe such reporting styles should be reserved for reporting tools.
