Dynamic rows to columns oracle 10g

Hi,
I'm using oracle 10g. I have a requiriement where I need to show rows to columns. I have read through many posts but I couldn't find what I wanted to solve. Lots of them are using decode, since they know the values in one column.
My table has name, value and date. I need to get values for each name at certain date (each distinct date needs to become column). I don't know the name beforehand.
Name, Value, Date
T1 100 06-27-2011 09:00:00
T2 100 06-27-2011 09:00:00
T1 200 06-27-2011 09:15:00
T2 150 06-27-2011 09:15:00
I would also need to use a date range. Someone can request date between 09:00:00 and 09:05:00 or 09:00:00 and 09:30:00 etc.
I need to print
Name, 06-27-2011 09:00:00, 06-27-2011 09:15:00
T1 100 200
T2 100 150
Appreciate any advice on this.

    Pivot isn't supported in 10g.Pivot can be done in any version of Oracle.
    The PIVOT keyword of the SELECT command isn't supported in Oracle 10. That's only one way of pivoting.

    change_name    primary_key_id

    I think you want something like this:
    SELECT     'Primary_key_id
         || TO_CHAR ( NULLIF  ( ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY  NVL ( a.primary_key_id
                                             , c.primary_key_id
                      , 1
               )          AS change_table_name
    ,     a.primary_key_id     AS asset
    ,     c.primary_key_id     AS collateral
    FROM          table_x      a
    FULL OUTER JOIN     table_x  c  ON  a.primary_key_id  = c.primary_key_id
    -- Next 4 lines added after Ankit, below
                       AND     a.change_name     = 'ASSET'
                       AND     c.change_name     = 'COLLATERAL'
    WHERE     a.change_name     = 'ASSET'
    OR     c.change_name     = 'COLLATERAL'
    ;If you'd care to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data, then I could test it.
    This generates a unique change_table_name for each row. I don't see how you get the values you said you wanted associated with the other columns. That is, I have the same question as Justin:
    Justin Cave wrote:
    ... How do you know that 1502 goes with primary_key_id2 and not primary_key_id3 or 4 or 1?Perhaps you don't really care which change_table_name is given to each row, just so long as they are unique, and numbered with consecutive integers (except for 1). If you really do need exactly what you posted, explain how you get it. You probably just need to change the analytic ORDER BY clause.

  • Row chaining and row migration in Oracle 10g R2/11g R2

    Hi,
    Due to the business rule changes, one of the numeric column in a large table (20 millions rows) will be expanded from number(8) to number(10). Also, the values of this column of each row will be updated from 6 digits to 10 digits. All the indexes that use this column will be dropped and recreated after update. I would like to know if there is any row chaining or row migration issue in Oracle 10g R2 /11g R2.

  • Dynamic For loop in Oracle 10g

    Hi ,
    my requirement is to write dynamic for loop , Some thing similar to below plsql block, But I am getting error , please suggest
    declare
    lv_text varchar2(200);
    begin
    lv_text:='select * from some_table ';
    for i in (lv_text)
    loop
    null;
    end loop;
    end;
    **** Here my purpose of lv_text is to use a dynamic query in for loop.

    You are getting error because lv_Text is not a cursor variable.... So you can try this way..if your statement is known...
    begin
    For rec in (select * from emp)
    loop
    dbms_output.put_line(rec.ename);
    end loop;
    end;
    Or try this if your statements can be controlled based on your addition input(cnt)
    create or replace procedure p_ref_Cursor
    +(p_Empno in number,p_ename out varchar2,p_sal out number,cnt number)+
    is
    Type ref_cursor is ref cursor;
    e_ref_Cursor ref_Cursor;
    begin
    if cnt =1 then
    open e_Ref_Cursor for select ename from emp where empno=p_Empno;
    fetch e_ref_cursor into p_ename;
    else
    open e_Ref_Cursor for select sal from emp where empno=p_Empno;
    fetch e_ref_cursor into p_sal;
    end if;
    close e_ref_cursor;
    end;
    or Use dbms_sql package for creating dynamic SQL as suggested by others too if your statement is completely dynamic ..:)

  • Returning 250 rows with 1000 Values in "IN" Clause Oracle 10g On IBM AIX !!

    Hi,
    Recently we have done the OS migration of Oracle 10g Server from Windows Server to IBM AIX. Everything is fine, But today we came across one crucial bug in the code, i.e In the Select Query, though we're expecting 1000 rows with 1000 values in "IN" Clause , It's returning Only 250 rows. Where as it's returning 1000 rows in Windows Environment with 1000 values in "IN" Clause. I have browsed throgh Google for the resolution but failed to get that.
    This is something like,
    In Oracle 10g On windows :-
    select * from emp
    where dept_id in (1,2,3,...................1000);
    Assuming there  are the dept_id values in Emp table from 1 ... 1000, It's returning 1000 rows.
    In Oracle 10g On IBM AIX ,
    select * from emp
    where dept_id in (1,2,3,...................1000);
    Assuming there  are the dept_id values in Emp table from 1 ... 1000, It's returning 250 rows. Pls help me, what could be the reason for this. and what needs to be checked to fix this.
    Pls suggest !!!
    Raja

    mmmh. Did you compared the select count(*) from your_table; in the two cases.
    If the result is not good and nobody has deleted rows between migration and your test, you migration need to be replayed.
    Which migration did you select, Transportable database or exp/imp...?

    How can I do this with without unpivot?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    One way to unpivot in any version of Orace is to cross-join your table with another table (or resut set, in ths case) that has as many rows as you need toroduce from each row of your original table.
    Here's an example:
    WITH     cntr     AS
         SELECT     LEVEL     AS n
         FROM     dual
         CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= 3
    SELECT     e.iduser
    ,     CASE  c.n
             WHEN  1  THEN  year1
             WHEN  2  THEN  year2
             WHEN  3  THEN  year3
         END     AS uear
    FROM         cntr      c
    CROSS JOIN  employee  e
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).

    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);

    IDC_ ValueN_
    HO 5000
    PG1 2400
    PG2 3000
    PG3 800
    Then My expected result will be as follows
    HO PG1 PG2 PG3

  • Pivoting rows into columns in Oracle 10g

    Hi,
    I want to pivot rows into column in some optimal way.
    I don't want to go with the DECODE option as the number of columns can be more than 200.
    i have also tried the transpose logic which is making the pl/sql block too huge.
    can i directly query the database for the desired output instead of storing the data into some arrays and displaying rows as columns?

    Hi,
    Here's a dynamic way to do this is Oracle 10, using theSQL*Plus @ command to handle the dynamic parts.
    First, let's see how we would do this using a static query:
    WITH     col_cntr    AS
         SELECT     column_name
         FROM     all_tab_columns
         WHERE     owner          = 'FKULASH'
         AND     table_name     = 'TEST_EMP'
         AND     column_name     NOT IN ('EMP_ID', 'TYPE_VAL')
    ,     unpivoted_data     AS
         SELECT     e.type_val
         ,     c.column_name
         ,     CASE c.column_name
                  WHEN  'X_AMT'  THEN  x_amt     -- *****  Dynamic section 1  *****
                  WHEN  'Y_AMT'  THEN  y_amt     -- *****  Dynamic section 1  *****
                  WHEN  'Z_AMT'  THEN  z_amt     -- *****  Dynamic section 1  *****
              END     AS v
         FROM          test_emp  e
         CROSS JOIN     col_cntr  c
    SELECT       column_name     AS type_val
    ,       SUM (CASE WHEN type_val = 'Q1' THEN v ELSE 0 END)     AS q1     -- ***** Dynamic section 2  *****
    ,       SUM (CASE WHEN type_val = 'Q2' THEN v ELSE 0 END)     AS q2     -- ***** Dynamic section 2  *****
    ,       SUM (CASE WHEN type_val = 'Q3' THEN v ELSE 0 END)     AS q3     -- ***** Dynamic section 2  *****
    ,       SUM (CASE WHEN type_val = 'Q4' THEN v ELSE 0 END)     AS q4     -- ***** Dynamic section 2  *****
    FROM       unpivoted_data
    GROUP BY  column_name
    ORDER BY  column_name
    ;Column names are hard-coded in two places:
    (1) in the sub-query unpivoted_data, we had to know that there were 3 columns to be unpivoted, and that they were called x_amt, y_amt and z_amt. You want to derive all of that from all_tab_columns.
    (2) in the main query, we had to know that there would be 4 pivoted columns in the rsult set, and that they would be called q1, q2, q3 and q4. You want to derive all that from the data actually in test_emp.
    Instead of hard-coding those 2 dynamic sections, have Preliminary Queries write them for you, a split second before you run the main query, by running this script:
    --  Before writing sub-scripts, turn off features designed for human readers
    SET     FEEDBACK    OFF
    SET     PAGESIZE    0

    WHERE       owner          = 'FKULASH'
    AND       table_name     = 'TEST_EMP'
    AND       column_name     NOT IN ('EMP_ID', 'TYPE_VAL')

    ||           LOWER (type_val)          AS txt

    SET     FEEDBACK    5
    SET     PAGESIZE    50

         AND     table_name     = 'TEST_EMP'
         AND     column_name     NOT IN ('EMP_ID', 'TYPE_VAL')
    ,     unpivoted_data     AS
         SELECT     e.type_val
         ,     c.column_name
         ,     CASE c.column_name
                  @c:\temp\sub_script_1
              END     AS v
         FROM          test_emp  e
         CROSS JOIN     col_cntr  c
    SELECT       column_name     AS type_val
    @c:\temp\sub_script_2
    FROM       unpivoted_data
    GROUP BY  column_name
    ORDER BY  column_name
    ;As you can see, the main query looks exactly like the static query, except that the two dynamic sections have been replaced by sub-scripts. These 2 sub-scripts are written by 2 prelimiary queries, right before the main query.
    As others have said, the fact that you're asking this question hints at a poor table design. Perhaps the table should be permanently stored in a form pretty much like unpivoted_data, above. When you need to display it with columns x_amt, y_amt, ..., then pivot it, using GROUP BY type_col. When you need to display it with columns q1, q2, ..., then pivot it using GROUP BY column_name.

    FL        02/03     8
    FL        02/04     9
    FL        02/05     10
    and so on..Now I want to convert it from rows to column, but still want to keep STATE column group by :
    so the result would be :
    STATE   02/02   02/03   02/04   02/05
    NY        5      10       20    15
    IL        23     34       29    9
    FL        15     8        9     10
    and so on...I tried using pivot function, but it didnt work. is it even possible? or I will have to do it in code (.net c#) side.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Cross-join your table with a Counter Table , a table (or result set, as in the example below) that counts from 1 up to the number of columns you want to unpivot, like this:
    WITH     cntr     AS
         SELECT     LEVEL     AS n
         FROM     dual
         CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= 3     -- Number of columns to be unpivoted
    SELECT       s.bu_id
    ,       s.prod_id
    ,       CASE  c.n
              WHEN  1  THEN  'total_clients'
              WHEN  2  THEN  'total_men'
              WHEN  3  THEN  'total_women'
           END          AS client_info
    ,       CASE  c.n
              WHEN  1  THEN  total_clients
              WHEN  2  THEN  total_men
              WHEN  3  THEN  total_women
           END          AS values
    FROM            source_table  s
    CROSS JOIN     cntr           c
    ORDER BY  s.bu_id
    ,            s.prod_id
    ,       c.n
    ;If you'd care to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data, then I could test this.
    The values column that you create can only have 1 data type. If the original, unpivoted columns have different data types, you may need to convert some of them in the CASE expression that defines values.

  • Oracle 10g - Defining the column name in Non English

    Hi Experts,
    I have an exisitng application which is developed on Windows using ASP Technology and uses Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0.
    The application is supported with an instance of Data Base within which multiple tablespaces are created for different clients. The application is developed in such a way that some of the tables arecreated dynamically and the columns are named using the data entered through the UI.
    This application needs to be globalized now. The problem is, the column name entered through the UI can be in any language based on the client's settings and those values in turn will be used for naming the columns in the tables.
    1) Can I have the column names to be named using non english characters in Oracle 10g DB? If so,
    1.1) what should I do to configure the exisiting Oracle instance to support it?
    1.2) To what level is that configuration possible, is it per DB instance level (or) can it be done at Tablespace level. I would like to configure each tablespace to host tables with columns defined with different languages, say for example, tablespace 1 will have tables with Japaenese column names and tablespace 2 will have tables with German column names?
    2) What should I do to make my entire DB to support unicode data i.e., to accept any language strings. Currently all strings are declared as VarChar2, should I change all VarChar2 to NVarChar2 (or) is there a way to retain the VarChar2 as is and make some database wide setting?
    Please note that I do not have an option of retaining the column in English as per the Business Requirement.
    Envionment:
    OS - Windows 2003 32 bit
    Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0
    UI forms in ASP
    TIA,
    Prem

    1. Yes, you can.
    SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá number(10));
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values (10);
    1 row created.1.1 and 1.2 and 2. You can choose UTF as your default character set. It allows the user of non-English characters in VARCHAR columns in your whole database. It is not per tablespace.
    SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá varchar2(100));
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values ('âãäçìé');
    1 row created.
