Converting rows in a column

Hi,
I've records like:
Officer ID     Qualification Id      Qualification Type      Qualification
1     1     Academic     10th
1     2     Academic     12th
1     3     Academic     B.Sc.
2     1     Academic     10th
2     2     Academic     I.Sc.
2     3     Academic     B.A.
I need to rotate the rocards and make it like:
Officer ID     Qualification1     Qualification2     Qualification3
1     10th     12th     B.Sc.
2     10th     I.Sc.     B.A.
The system accepts 60 different possible values of qualifications, but out of them an officer can have at max 6 different qualifications.
Can you please suggest me , how to acheive this conversion of rows into
columns.
Thanks And regards
Rajeev Ranjan

You can use unpivot for that purpose.

How to convert Rows to different columns

Hi All,
I am having a table address with the following data.
ID          REL_NAME     REL_RELATION REL_PHONE
1---          kish_rel1---     wife---     1111
1---          kish_rel2---     sister---     2222
1---          kish_rel3---     brother---     3333
2---          ram_rel1---     brother---     4444
Now i want to display rows data into columns. See the output i want. Exactly, I dont know how many rows are there for each ID. It may increase or decrease.
ID          REL_NAME     REL_RELATION REL_PHONE
1---kish_rel1---     wife---     1111---kish_rel2---     sister---     2222---kish_rel3---     brother---     3333
2---ram_rel1---     brother---     4444
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I have found this is useful. But it is static. It wont work if we dont know the maximum number of rows present when grouped by ID.
Is there any other solution, which will give correct values, if we dont know the row count when grouped by ID.
SELECT hrid,
MAX(case when seq=1 then rel_name end) AS "rel_name1",
MAX(case when seq=1 then rel_relation end) AS "rel_relation1",
MAX(case when seq=1 then rel_phone end) AS "rel_phone1",
MAX(case when seq=2 then rel_name end) AS "rel_name2",
MAX(case when seq=2 then rel_relation end) AS "rel_relation2",
MAX(case when seq=2 then rel_phone end) AS "rel_phone2",
MAX(case when seq=3 then rel_name end) AS "rel_name3",
MAX(case when seq=3 then rel_relation end) AS "rel_relation3",
MAX(case when seq=3 then rel_phone end) AS "rel_phone3",
MAX(case when seq=4 then rel_name end) AS "rel_name4",
MAX(case when seq=4 then rel_relation end) AS "rel_relation4",
MAX(case when seq=4 then rel_phone end) AS "rel_phone4"
FROM (SELECT hrid, rel_name, rel_relation, rel_phone, ROW_NUMBER() over(partition by hrid ORDER BY hrid) AS seq FROM address)
GROUP BY hrid

How to convert row data into columns without using pivot table?

Hello guys
I have a report that has several columns about sales call type and call counts
It looks like this:
Calls Type Call Counts
Missed 200
Handled 3000000
Rejected 40000
Dropped 50000
Now I wanna create a report that look like this:
Missed call counts Handled Call counts Rejected Counts Drop counts Other Columns
200 300000000 40000 50000 Data
So that I can perform other calculations on the difference and comparison of handled calls counts vs other call counts..
I know pivot table view can make the report look like in such way, but they cant do further calculations on that..
So I need to create new solid columns that capture call counts based on call types..
How would I be able to do that on Answers? I don't have access to the RPD, so is it possible to do it sololy on answers? Or should I just ask ETL support on this?
Any pointers will be deeply appreciated!
Thank you

Thanks MMA
I followed your guidance and I was able to create a few new columns of call missed count, call handled counts and call abandoned counts.. Then I create new columns of ave missed counts, ave handled counts and so forth..
Then I went to the pivot view, I realized there is a small problem.. Basically the report still includes the column "call types" which has 3 different types of call "miss, abandon and handled". When I exclude this column in my report, the rest of the measures will return wrong values. When I include this column in the report, it shows duplicate values by 3 rows. It looks like this:
Queue name Call types Call handled Call missed Call abondoned
A Miss 8 10 15
A Handled 8 10 15
A Abandoned 8 10 15
in pivot table view, if I move call type to column area, the resulted measures will become 8X3, 10X3 and 15X3
So is there a way to eliminate duplicate rows or let the system know not to mulitply by 3?
Or is this as far as presentation service can go in terms of this? Or should I advice to provide better data from the back end?
Please let me know, thanks

Convert rows to single column

Hi All
Need some assistance, i have a table where i want the output to be a single column
ex: select from t1;*
query output_
rownum col_1
1     8217
2     6037
3     5368

5     5232
i would like the result to be : *8217,6037,5368,5543,5232*
thanks for your help in advance.
i did look on the web but can't find a solution that is easily understood.

Hi,

thanks for responding quickly.
the link example seems not to work for me:
below is the information you have requested:Below is some of what I requested. The CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements seem to be missing.
1. duplicate values have no effect
2. list doesn't need any order
3. Version 10.2.0.5.0 For that, I recommend the user-defined aggregate function called STRING_AGG in the Oracle Base page, but called STRAGG by most of the people who use it. You have to copy and run about 60 lines of code from the Oracle Base page, or from AskTom one time, but once you have it installed, the job is as simple as
SELECT MIN (rnum)       AS rnum     -- ROWNUM isn't a good column name, since it's the same as a pseudo-column
,       STRAGG (count_1) AS count_1_list
FROM    table_x
;Hundreds of other jobs you have in the future will be just as easy, and you won't have to go through the installation process again.
Relevant information:
1. table columns : count_1
all rows should become a single row with ',' in between
example:
select * from t1;
output:
Rownum count_1
1 8217
2 6037
3 5368
4 5543
5 5232
Desired results :
Rownum count_1
1 8217, 6037, 5368, 5543, 5232
Edited by: 855161 on Dec 11, 2012 1:25 PMThe main problem with STRAGG is that it doesn't create a list in order. You said that's not an issue in this case, but if you ever do need output in order, then the best option in Oracle 10 is the SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH technique. The main Oracle-Base page shows how to use SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH in Oracle 9. Of course, that works in all later versions too, but in version 10 a simpler way, using CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF, became available. See the Oracle-Base Comments Page for the eaiser Oracle 10 technique.

Convert row values to columns

I have a SQL statement which outputs a two column table with a ProjectName and a MemberFullValue, both text types values:
SELECT proj.ProjectName, lt.MemberFullValue
FROM dbo.MSP_EpmProject_UserView AS proj
LEFT JOIN [dbo].[MSPCFPRJ_IT Pillar(s)_AssociationView] AS itpillar
ON proj.ProjectUID = itpillar.EntityUID
LEFT JOIN dbo.MSP_EpmLookupTable AS lt
ON itpillar.LookupMemberUID = lt.MemberUID
Both columns can contain duplicate values and both contain text.
When there are duplicate values for 'ProjectName' I want to convert the corresponding 'MemberFullValue' values to columns. I have looked at a lot of different solutions to questions already posted, but I am not a SQL genius so I cannot get any of them to work.
Can someone help me out? Thanks.

Sounds like this to me
SELECT ProjectName,
[1] AS Value1,
[2] AS value2,
[3] AS Value3,
[4] AS Value4,
[5] AS Value5,
[6] AS Value6
FROM
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY proj.ProjectName ORDER BY proj.ProjectName) AS Seq,
proj.ProjectName, lt.MemberFullValue
FROM dbo.MSP_EpmProject_UserView AS proj
LEFT JOIN [dbo].[MSPCFPRJ_IT Pillar(s)_AssociationView] AS itpillar
ON proj.ProjectUID = itpillar.EntityUID
LEFT JOIN dbo.MSP_EpmLookupTable AS lt
ON itpillar.LookupMemberUID = lt.MemberUID
)t
PIVOT (MAX(MemberFullValue) FOR Seq IN ([1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6]))p
to make it dynamic you can use this

i searched google and found PIVOT, CROSS JOIN etc but could not use those keyword properly.
Thanks in advance.
Note - My DB client version is 11g.

Since you have 11G, here's an alternative with the PIVOT clause.
First, set up test data with up to 10 rows:
CREATE TABLE T(P1,C1,C2,C3,C4,C5,C6,C7,C8,C9,C10) AS SELECT
1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 FROM DUAL;
INSERT INTO T
WITH DATA AS (SELECT LEVEL*10 N FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 9)
SELECT P1, C1+N, C2+N, C3+N, C4+N, C5+N, C6+N, C7+N, C8+N, C9+N, C10+N
FROM T, DATA;
INSERT INTO T
SELECT P1+1,C1,C2,C3,C4,C5,C6,C7,C8,C9,C10
FROM T
WHERE C1 <= 11;
select * from t order by p1,c1;

Converting each row in a column to an XML

Hi everyone,
Using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit
I have a table where there is a comments column which is VARCHAR2. That column contains string data in the form of XML tags.
Like for eg. *<tag_name attr_name="10"/>* (sorry cant provide the exact values as I'm not allowed to)
There are many such rows. Now I want to use these strings and operate on them as XML like using XPath to find certain attributes etc.
I tried using the extract function and to use it i need a XMLType object. So I tried to create one using the XMLType() constructor.
But it gives me the error ORA-19032: Expected XML tag , got no content
When I looked it up on the net, I found that this error number doesn't correspond to the error message that I'm getting. The error msg found on the internet was Expected XML tag string got string
I used this query
SELECT XMLType (<column>) FROM <table>;But when I modified it (based on someone's hunch) to
SELECT XMLType (<column>)
FROM <table>
WHERE ROWNUM <= 1;The query worked fine. Like it can take only one row.
I also tried like this
SELECT XMLType ('<tag_name attr_name="10"/>')
FROM DUAL;This too worked fine.
So finally this has left me completely confused. Is there a way to convert every row in a column to an XMLType object so that I can use the extract function to gather information about it.
For the time being I have used REGEXes to write the code. But having the flexibility of xml would be better.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Arijit

Arijit,
The error message is correct. What you found is merely the generic message with string placeholders.
The error message is also pretty self-explanatory : you can't pass an empty string (NULL) to the XMLType constructor.
SQL> select xmltype('') from dual;
ERROR:
ORA-19032: Expected XML tag , got no content
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 310
ORA-06512: at line 1
no rows selectedYou have to either add a WHERE clause to filter out NULL columns, or use a CASE statement to only convert strings that aren't empty :
SELECT XMLType (<column>)
FROM <table>
WHERE <column> IS NOT NULL ;
SELECT CASE WHEN <column> IS NOT NULL THEN XMLType (<column>) END
FROM ...And do not use EXTRACT if you want to access scalar values, use EXTRACTVALUE instead :
SQL> select extractvalue(xmltype('<tag_name attr_name="10"/>'), '/tag_name/@attr_name') from dual;
EXTRACTVALUE(XMLTYPE('<TAG_NAMEATTR_NAME="10"/>'),'/TAG_NAME/@ATTR_NAME')

Converting Rows into Column in Oracle 10g

Hi All,
I m using Oracle Version 10.1.0.2.0 - Production
I have requirement to convert rows into column wise as per the following:
My Query is:
WITH t
AS ( SELECT 'A' AS x, 100 AS y FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'B',200 FROM DUAL
SELECT X, Y
FROM t;
X Y
A 100
B 200
My Requirement is
A B
100 200
So any one could help me that how I resolve this.
Regards,
Prasanta

Dear frank,
Thanks for your support,.
It's working fine for static cases.If the first column is dynamic then how come i will resolve it.
Example:
Create table mytab (ID_C Varchar2(15),Value_N Number);
Records Population into MyTab table is dynamic.
Insert into mytab values('HO',5000);
Insert Into mytab values('PG1',2400);
Insert Into mytab values('PG2',3000);
Insert Into mytab values('PG3',800);
Commit;
SQL> Select * From MyTab;
IDC_ ValueN_
HO 5000
PG1 2400
PG2 3000
PG3 800
Then My expected result will be as follows
HO PG1 PG2 PG3
5000 2400 3000 800
Thanks and Regards,
Prasanta

How to convert row into column

Hi All,
My oracle apps version is r12 and db is 10 and i am using Bi publisher version 10g.
Is it possible to convert row into column in Rtf template,
My Query is
SELECT distinct pvs.vendor_site_code,sum(aia.invoice_amount)
FROM ap_invoices_all aia, po_vendors po, po_vendor_sites_all pvs
WHERE aia.org_id = pvs.org_id
AND aia.vendor_id = po.vendor_id
AND aia.vendor_site_id = pvs.vendor_site_id
AND aia.org_id=204
group by pvs.vendor_site_code
And output is like this
Vendor sitecode Invoiceamt
EAM-ERS 79240
STAR GATE - PAY 3245902.31
UPS - HQ 10792040.9
Like this
So in template i need the output like this
Vendor sitecode EAM-ERS STAR GATE - PAY UPS - HQ
Invoiceamt 79240 3245902.31 10792040.9
I tried to achieve the output using sql query but by hardcoding only i have achieved it, so i have tried to convert directly in RTF template.
can any one tell me is it possible.
And if new project is added from the front end ie(now the query will produce 4 rows but now in template i have created only three columns)
Is it possible to add a new column dynamically.
Can any one please guide me and tell me is there any example.
Thanks & regards
