Converting rows to columns using dynamic query.
I am trying to use the below code that I founnd on the web to conver rows to columns. the reason that I want to use dynamic query is that the number of rows are not know and changes.
declare
lv_sql varchar2(32767) := null ;
begin
lv_sql := 'SELECT Iplineno ';
for lv_rec in (SELECT distinct vendor from bidtabs where letting = '10021200' and call ='021')
loop
lv_sql := lv_sql
|| CHR(10)
|| ', MAX( DECODE( vendor, '
|| chr(39)
|| lv_rec.vendor
|| CHR(39)
|| ', bidprice, NULL ) ) as "'
|| lv_rec.vendor
|| '" ' ;
end loop;
lv_sql := lv_sql
|| CHR(10)
|| 'FROM bidtabs where letting = ''10021200'' and call = ''021'' and lineflag = ''L'' '
|| CHR(10)
|| 'GROUP BY iplineno ;' ;
here is the result
BIDPRICE CALL IPLINENO LETTING VENDOR

Converting rows to columns using t-sql
Hi All,
I have a table with 3 columns, let say ID1 , ID2, Flag
My Source data looks like this..
ID1 ID2 Flag
1 1 0
1 2 0
1 3 0
2 7 0
2 8 1
2 9 0
4 5 0
Now My output should look like this..
ID1 Newcol1 NewFlag1 Newcol2 NewFlag2 Newcol3 NewFlag3
1 1 0
2 0 3
0
2 7 0
8 1 9
0
4 5 0
null null null null
Basically I want to convert rows to columns and to get above output I need t-SQL query.
Thanks in advance
RH
sqlYou can do it by this query:
declare @table table ( ID1 int, ID2 int, Flag int)
insert @table values ( 1,1,0 ),( 1,2,0 ),( 1,3,0 ),( 2,7,0 ),( 2,8,1 ),( 2,9,0 ),( 4,5,0 )
WITH cte1
AS ( SELECT Id1 ,
ROW_NUMBER() over (partition by ID1 order by ID1 ) as Sequence ,
ID2 ,
Flag
FROM @table
cte2
AS ( SELECT Id1 ,
ColumnTitle + LTRIM(RTRIM(STR(Sequence))) AS ColumnTitle ,
ColumnData
FROM cte1 UNPIVOT ( ColumnData FOR ColumnTitle IN ( [ID2], [Flag] ) ) AS UP
SELECT Id1 ,
[ID21] FirstID2 ,
[Flag1] FirstFlag ,
[ID22] SecondID2 ,
[Flag2] SecondFlag ,
[ID23] ThirdID2 ,
[Flag3] ThirdFlag
FROM cte2 PIVOT ( MAX(ColumnData) FOR ColumnTitle IN ( [ID21],
[Flag1],
[ID22],
[Flag2],
[ID23],
[Flag3] ) ) PV

Rows ino Columns using BEX query
I got DSO with declaration records. Every declaration can have several versions, say:
DECLR_ID VERSION AMNT
1111 01 1000
1111 02 1100
1111 03 1500
1112 01 5000
1112 02 4999
I need a query to compare final version with corrections (previuos to last versions). The result table must look like this:
DECLR_ID VERSION CORR_AMNT FINAL_AMNT DIFF
1111 01 1000 1500 500
1111 02 1100 1500 400
1112 01 5000 4999 -1
is it possible by query designer to get results like this by not using any InfoSet?Hi,
There is one possible provided if the version are less,
Create the restricted KF, for each version where in keep amount as common in all RKF. Then create the calculated KF again for getting the difference of Last version Restricted KF and starting Restricted KF and continue the same for remaining keeping the Last version Restricted KF as common.
Hope this may work. Try it.

Convert rows to columns using t-sql

My source data looks like this..
ID Name Rn
1 Sam 1
1 John 2
1 Greg 1
1 Smith 2
1 Aron 1
2 Brad 1
2 Kevin 2
2 Alex 1
2 Jeff 2
I need t-sql to get below output..Put Name into two columns, When Rn=1 Then Name1, When Rn=2 Then Name2.
ID Name1 Rn1 Name2 Rn2
1 Sam 1 John 2
1 Greg 1 Smith 2
1 Aron 1 null null
2 Brad 1 Kevin 2
2 Alex 1 Jeff 2
Thanks!
sqlto achieve this you need to have either 1. some unique key that can refer rn=1 and 2 for each person in each group or 2 . identity value column where, row number are enforce order of rn=1 and rn=2
Vinay''s solution works until you have do not have last name for one row but have some data for the same group id
like :
INSERT INTO #temp1(ID,Name,Rn) VALUES (1,'Sam',1)
INSERT INTO #temp1(ID,Name,Rn) VALUES (1,'John',2)
INSERT INTO #temp1(ID,Name,Rn) VALUES (1,'Greg',1)
INSERT INTO #temp1(ID,Name,Rn) VALUES (1,'Smith',2)
INSERT INTO #temp1(ID,Name,Rn) VALUES (1,'Aron',1)
INSERT INTO #temp1(ID,Name,Rn) VALUES (1,'newfirstname',1)
INSERT INTO #temp1(ID,Name,Rn) VALUES (1,'wronglastname',2)
INSERT INTO #temp1(ID,Name,Rn) VALUES (2,'Brad',1)
INSERT INTO #temp1(ID,Name,Rn) VALUES (2,'Kevin',2)
INSERT INTO #temp1(ID,Name,Rn) VALUES (2,'Alex',1)
INSERT INTO #temp1(ID,Name,Rn) VALUES (2,'Jeff',2)
this would work but as said you need some key to identify uniquely.
create table #Tmp (no int identity(1,1),ID int,Name varchar(20),Rn int)
insert into #Tmp
values
(1,'Sam',1),
(1,'John',2),
(1,'Greg',1),
(1,'Smith',2),
(1,'Aron',1),
(2,'Brad',1),
(2,'Kevin',2),
(2,'Alex',1),
(2,'Jeff',2)
Select distinct A.ID,A.Name,A.RN,B.NAme,B.Rn
from(
(select A.ID,A.Name,A.RN,A.no from #tmp A where A.rn=1) A FULL OUTER JOIN
(select A.ID,A.Name,A.RN,A.no from #tmp A where A.rn=2) B on a.ID=B.id and A.no=B.no-1)
drop table #tmp
Hope it Helps!! -

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,
PrasantaDear 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,

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

How to convert rows to columns in sql server 2008
How to convert rows to columns in sql server 2008 using the GROUP BY function? (only one query allowed)
Lookup the Pivot transformation. From BOL:
The Pivot transformation makes a normalized data set into a less normalized
but more compact version by pivoting the input data on a column value. For
example, a normalized Orders data set that lists customer name, product, and quantity purchased typically has multiple rows for any customer who purchased multiple products, with each row for that customer showing order
details for a different product. By pivoting the data set on the product column, the Pivot transformation can output a data set with a
single row per customer. That single row lists all the purchases by the customer, with the product names shown as column names, and the quantity shown as a value in the product column. Because not every customer purchases every product, many columns may contain
null values.
When a dataset is pivoted, input columns perform different roles in the pivoting process. A column can participate in the following ways:
The column is passed through unchanged to the output. Because many input rows
can result only in one output row, the transformation copies only the first
input value for the column.
The column acts as the key or part of the key that identifies a set of
records.
The column defines the pivot. The values in this column are associated with
columns in the pivoted dataset.
The column contains values that are placed in the columns that the pivot
creates.

How to use dynamic query for Result table
Hello Experts,
I want to use dynamic query and then display the result in the assignment block.
Using dynamic query BTQAct and BTQRAct and base on some search criteria i want tofilter and then append the result in the result table of that custom context node, and then it should display the result in the view in UI.
SO can you please provide me the samplle code on how to use the dynamic query and append in the result table.
Regards.Hi,
Please find below sample code:
data: query TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_dquery_service,
result TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_col.
DATA: lt_params TYPE crmt_name_value_pair_tab,
lwa_params TYPE crmt_name_value_pair.
query = cl_crm_bol_dquery_service=>get_instance( 'BTQAct' ). " Get instance of dynamic query
Set general query parameter for maximum number of hits
lwa_params-name = 'MAX_HITS' .
lwa_params-value = '50'.
APPEND lwa_params TO lt_params.
query->set_query_parameters( it_parameters = lt_params ).
query->add_selection_param( iv_attr_name = 'OBJECT_ID'
iv_sign = 'I'
iv_option = 'EQ'
iv_low = <lv_objectid>
iv_high = '' ). " Set your search criteria. Repeat this code if you have multiple parameters
"You can find possible search options for a query object in GENIL_BOL_BROWSER
result ?= query->get_query_result( ). " Get result from your search query
me->typed_context-> <your result context node>->set_collection( result ).
Here you will have to create a context node in your view which would refer to query result object like for BTQAct its BTQRAct
Hope this helps.

q2) table value function is not accepting dynamic query , is there any way to do this task.
yours sincerleyCertain parts in an SQL query like FROM tablename cannot be local variables. In such a case, dynamic SQL can be applied:

As noted above, more information needed to decide if dynamic SQL the correct solution in this instance.
