Converting multiple column rows into single column

Hi all Below is my requirement, can you anybody help me solve it. CREATE TABLE TYPE ( c1_type VARCHAR2 (10), c2_type VARCHAR2 (10), c3_type VARCHAR2 (10), c4_type VARCHAR2 (10), c5_type VARCHAR2 (10), c6_type VARCHAR2 (10), c7_type VARCHAR2 (10), c8_type VARCHAR2 (10), c9_type VARCHAR2 (10)); INSERT INTO TYPE VALUES ('Region_D', 'Region_E', 'Region_F', 'Region_D', 'Region_E', 'Region_D', 'Region_M', 'Region_D', 'Region_E'); commit; Acutal output on the below query select * from type; C1_TYPE C2_TYPE C3_TYPE C4_TYPE C5_TYPE C6_TYPE C7_TYPE C8_TYPE C9_TYPE Region_D Region_E Region_F Region_D Region_E Region_D Region_M Region_D Region_E Acutal i am expecting the below output,how to make it using query or using oracle built in function. Region_D Region_D Region_D Region_D Region_E Region_E Region_E Region_F Region_M

Hi,
So, you want to put the column values in alphabetic order, with the earliest value in c1_type and the last in c9_type, is that it?
The fact that you even want to do this says that this is a bad table design. If sorting the values makes sense, then putting them all in the same column on 9 different rows (rather than 9 different columns on 1 row) makes sense.
If you're stuck with the current design, then use SELECT ... UNPIVOT to put them on separate rows, then use the analytic ROW_NUMBER function to assign numbers 1-9 to each value, and finally use SELECT ... PIVOT to put them back into 1 row in that order. If you're not familiar with the built-in UNPIVOT and PIVOT features, look them up in the SQL Language manual, and see the forum FAQ:
https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362005
If you get stuck, post your best attempt (formatted), the exact results you want (formatted), and your Oracle version (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
Also, TYPE is an Oracle keyword, so it's not a good table name. Use something like location_type instead.

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}

Converting multiple columns into one.

All,
I have a requirement to convert multiple columns into one. Following is the pseudo code of current implementation. It unions the various columns ( col1, col2........) into a new column new_col. But perforamnce is extrmely slow owing to multiple unions. It may be noted that tables and where conditions of all these queries are same.
Can you help me create a more efficient query?
select col1 , col2, col3, col4 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition;Below is the query used to convert these columns into one.
select col1 new_col from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition
union all
select col2 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition
union all
select col3 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition
union all
select col4 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition

Without looking at those things you could be barking up the wrong tree by assuming the issue relates to the unioning of queries or other such things.Well, might be.........
Execution time of this query (just the execution time not the retrival) is around 34 seconds with connect-by clause for returning 22,000 records.

LM46 - Multiple line items into single HU

Hello,
I am using Pick & Pack functionality and confirming transfer orders using RF - LM46 transaction.
During confirmation of transfer order, new HU is getting created for each line item. Is it possible to confirm multiple line items into single HU.
Is there any setting needs to be done to achieve the same.
Steps in current process
- Create transfer order using LT03 or Background job
- Go to LM46 - enter delivery and packaging material
- Confirm line item
- TO item information (Qty & batch) updating back to Delivery along with new HU number
- Material and qty getting packed to HU correctly..
As we have several small picks, we don't want new HU to be created automatically. If we can combine multiple TO items into single HU that will be helpful for the process.
Please let me know if you need further information.
Thanks in advance,
Naga Mohan

Hi Nag,
I don't believe there is a straightforward way of doing that. The idea behind the design would be (for the two cases mentioned in this thread):
No HU exists, so new HU is generated during the TO confirmation (by entering only the packing material and $ as the HU number, triggering the label printing for shipping)
Hu exists, so the user would have the HU in front of them and would be packing directly into it.
Is your requirement for all deliveries within the warehouse? i.e Each delivery (regardless of the number of transfer orders) should only have one HU assigned?

Setting Font for converting multiple text files into PDF using VB 6.0

Dear All,
Am converting multiple text files into PDF using VB6.0. Currently, am unable to control the font face and size for the generated files. Below is the procedure am using for each file;
Public Sub proc_convert_to_PDF(srcFilename As String, destFilename As String)
Dim p_AcroApp As CAcroApp
Dim p_VDoc As CAcroAVDoc
Dim p_DDoc As CAcroPDDoc
Dim IsOk As Boolean
Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set p_VDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc
If p_VDoc.IsValid Then
Set p_DDoc = p_VDoc.GetPDDoc
' Fill in pdf properties.
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Title", Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyy")
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Subject", srcFilename
If p_DDoc.Save(1 Or 4 Or 32, destFilename) <> True Then
MsgBox "Failed to save " & srcFilename
End If
p_DDoc.Close
End If
'Close the PDF
p_VDoc.Close True
p_AcroApp.Exit
'Clear Variables
Set p_DDoc = Nothing
Set p_VDoc = Nothing
Set p_AcroApp = Nothing
End Sub
What I need;
1) to be able to set the font face of the destination file ( destFilename)
2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
Kindly Help.
Thanks in advance

We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
You could look for an application that gives control of font for
printing.
You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
to this.

Hi Sowmya,
Here is the answer if I understand well of your question.
Data: begin of gt_mon OCCURS 0,
              mon(2)             TYPE n,
         end of gt_mon.
Data: begin of gt_year OCCURS 0,
              year(4)             TYPE n,
         end of gt_year.
Select-options: s_period       FOR ptdw_pws_db-kmonth NO-EXTENSION
                                                                                DEFAULT sy-datum(6)
                                                                                TO sy-datum(6).
For example according to above statement period is 201110 is 201201.
Period field does n't exists in SAP for selection. If your selection is on date based on period which is given on the selection-screen then you need to convert the period to date by concatenating ( or using FM to convert )01 at the end of each period . You need to declare one range table for date to select the data from table.
loop at s_period.
gr_date-sign   = s_period-sign.
gr_date-option = s_period-option.
COncatenate s_period-low
                      '01'
into gr_date-high.
COncatenate s_period-high
                       '01'
into gr_date-low
append gr_date.
ENDloop.

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...
