Convert Column to rows using sql

I have considered that 7 consecutive rows forms one record. Change the 7 in the query according to your actual data.

To convert columns into row

Hi All,
I need help in building view which actually can show columns data as row.
e.g.
row is as follows
Name Age Salary
ABC 25 10000
BBC 28 12000
The above tables data I want to get as
Name ABC BBC
Age 25 28
Salary 10000 12000
Thanks in advance.

Even if I don't really understand such requirement, I wrote some times ago such function to play around that :

Mutiple Rows from a Single Row using SQL

How can i get Multiple rows from a single row using sql ?
Example : one row contains the complete address separated by delimiter say comma (,) as address1,address2,city,state,zip,country
I want to split this row and get the output in multiple rows as address1 address2 city state zip country using sql query.
Thanks,

Hi,
The solution above assumes that the |-delimited entries always contain at least one character. If you have a string like
1 Elm Street|||Sioux City|IA||it will think 'Siuox City' is address2.
If you have empty entries, like that, then you need something a little more complicated:
INSERT INTO table2
(       address1
,     address2
,     address3
,     city
,     state
,     postal
,     country
SELECT     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 1), 2)     -- address1
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 2), 2)     -- address2
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 3), 2)     -- address3
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 4), 2)     -- city
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 5), 2)     -- state
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 6), 2)     -- postal
,     SUBSTR (REGEXP_SUBSTR ('|' || txt, '\|[^|]*', 1, 7), 2)     -- country

Converting Column to Rows

Hello,
I am trying to build and SQL to convert columns from multiple rows to the all rows - see below test data and result expected:
CREATE TABLE XX_TEST(NAME VARCHAR2(10),A1 VARCHAR2(10),A2 VARCHAR2(10), A3 VARCHAR2(10),A4 VARCHAR2(10),A5 VARCHAR2(10));
INSERT INTO XX_TEST VALUES('LIST','A','B','C','D','E');
INSERT INTO XX_TEST VALUES('L1','1',NULL,'3',NULL,NULL);
INSERT INTO XX_TEST VALUES('L2','1','5','4',NULL,NULL);
COMMIT
SELECT * FROM XX_TEST;
Result expected:
NAME is Column from table XX_TEST but COLUMN and VALUE are the columns converted to rows-
NAME COLUMN VALUE
L1 A1 1
L1 A2 NULL
L1 A3 3
L1 A4 NULL
L1 A5 NULL
L2 A1 1
L2 A2 5
L2 A3 4
L2 A4 NULL
L2 A5 NULL
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for posting the sample data in such a useful form!
Whenever you post a question, you should always say what version of Oracle you're using, too.
Displaying multiple columns from one row as one column on multiple rows is called Unpivoting .
In Oracle 11, you can use the SELECT ... UNPIVOT feature to do that.
In any version of Oracle, you can cross-join your table to a Counter that has as many rows as your original table has columns to be unpivoted.
In this problem, we need a self-join of the unpivoted data, to join the rows with name='LIST' to every other row.
WITH     cntr     AS
     SELECT     LEVEL     AS n
     FROM     dual
     CONNECT BY     LEVEL     <= 5
,     unpivoted_xx_test     AS
     SELECT     x.name
     ,     'A' || c.n     AS col
     ,     CASE c.n
               WHEN 1     THEN x.a1
               WHEN 2     THEN x.a2
               WHEN 3     THEN x.a3
               WHEN 4     THEN x.a4
               WHEN 5     THEN x.a5
          END          AS val
     FROM          cntr     c
     CROSS JOIN     xx_test     x
SELECT       u.name
,       u.col
,       l.val          AS val1
,       u.val          AS val2
FROM       unpivoted_xx_test     l
JOIN       unpivoted_xx_test     u ON     l.col     = u.col
WHERE       l.name     = 'LIST'
AND       u.name     != 'LIST'
ORDER BY name
,       col
;Output:
NAME       COL VAL1       VAL2
L1         A1 A          1
L1         A2 B
L1         A3 C          3
L1         A4 D
L1         A5 E
L2         A1 A          1
L2         A2 B          5
L2         A3 C          4
L2         A4 D
L2         A5 EThe query above uses some features that were new in Oracle 9, but the basic strategy will work in earlier versions.
If your columns don't have such regular names (A1, A2, A3, ...) then you can use another CASE expression to derive unpivoted_xx_test.col.

Loading millions of rows using SQL*loader to a table with constraints

I have a table with constraints and I need to load millions of rows in it using SQL*Loader.
What is the best way to do this, means what SQL*Loader options to use, for getting the best loading performance and how to deal with constraints?
Regards

- check if your table has check constraints (like column not null)
if you trust the data in the file you have to load you can disable this constrainst and after the loader enable this constrainst.
- Check if you can modify the table and place it in nologging mode (generate less redo but ONLY is SOME Conditions)
Hope it helps

Converting columns into rows

Dear all....I need to convert all columns into rows in a table. For example table has following columns:
Emp_Cod........Val1......Val2......Val3
1 a b c
Now I wish that each column should display as a value like:
Emp_Cod........Val1
1 a
1 b
1 c
Now the one way to solve this job is to write a union statement for each column but for this I'll have to write equal number of select statements as there are columns.
What I need that is there anyway to write minimum code for this job, is there any alternate way???

SQL> with t as(select 1 emp_code, 'a' val1, 'b' val2, 'c' val3 from dual)
2 select*from t unpivot(v for c in(val1,val2,val3));
EMP_CODE C     V
        1 VAL1 a
        1 VAL2 b
        1 VAL3 c
SQL> col COLUMN_VALUE for a20
SQL> with t as(select 1 emp_code, 'a' val1, 'b' val2, 'c' val3 from dual)
2 select*from t,table(sys.odcivarchar2list(val1,val2,val3));
EMP_CODE V V V COLUMN_VALUE
        1 a b c a
        1 a b c b
        1 a b c c

ALV to select more than one column by row using set_table_for_first_display

Hello everyone,
I am developing an application (ALV OO) to select more than 1 column by row ( one ). This is an a holiday application so the idea is:
-One column will be the day, and the row will be the user.
So I am trying to select more than one day by user (that would be the row).
I am using the method set_table_for_first_display but when it shows the alv, doesn't let me to select more than one column with a click of the mouse.
Does anybody know if I can do this (select more than one column, by row) in somehow?
Please let me know if you need more clarification about this.
Thanks in advance
Diego

Hi Diego,
it's all in the documentation.
set different selection modes through the value of the field u201CSEL_MODEu201D in the layout structure.
SPACE
same as 'B'
see 'B'
Default setting
'A'
Column and row selection
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
The user selects the rows through pushbuttons at the left border of the grid control.
'B'
Simple selection, list box
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
'C'
Multiple selection, list box
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
'D'
Cell selection
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
Any cells
The user selects the rows through pushbuttons at the left border of the grid control
Beyond setting this option, you can set u201CNO_ROWMARKu201D option to hide the mark column which is normally visible when the selection mode allows multiple row selection.
One point to notice here is that if you set your ALV Grid as to be editable, it may override your selection mode regardless of your layout settings.

Converting columns to row

Hi,
I have 6 columns and 4 rows and i want to convert it into 6 rows and 4 columns and want to display in table control.
plz help me in this ....

Hi Kinjal,
   Question is not clear. You want to change the internal table values with 6 columns & 4 rows to 4 columns & 6 rows?
If my understanding is correct, check the bleow logic:
loop at itab1.
case sy-tabix.
when 1.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c1.
   append itab2.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c2.
   append itab2.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c3.
   append itab2.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c4.
   append itab2.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c5.
   append itab2.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c6.
   append itab2.
when 2.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c1.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 1.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c2.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 2.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c3.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 3.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c4.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 4.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c5.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 5.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c6.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 6.
when 3.
   itab2-c3 = itab1-c1.
modify itab2 transporting c3 index 1.
when 4.
   itab2-c4 = itab1-c1.
modify itab2 transporting c4 index 1.
Endloop.
Finally you will get 6 rows with 4 coulmns.

Reformatting Table- convert columns to rows

Hi,
I have data tables that I would like to reformat so that the columns become rows and vice versa, if that is possible.
I've been keyword searching for hours, but unfortunately I am unfamiliar with the terminology... Sorry if this is really stupid; I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!

One more techie which doen't know what he respond about. The transpose function is not as efficient as we where hoping but it works.
Alas, the formulas are so weird that I thougt that the "transpose_live script is a better tool.
I was not able to find a 'menu' script within numbers but opened it on its own and it worked. Is there a way to have it be a choice within numbers itself?
The "Script menu" is a menu of its own.
If you apply what I described at the beginning of the script, you will have an area dedicated to Numbers.
We may organize the menu two ways:
