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 convert from SQL Server table to Flat file (txt file)

I need To ask question how convert from SQL Server table to Flat file txt file

Hi
1. Import/Export wizened
2. Bcp utility
3. SSIS
1.Import/Export Wizard
First and very manual technique is the import wizard. This is great for ad-hoc and just to slam it in tasks.
In SSMS right click the database you want to import into. Scroll to Tasks and select Import Data…
For the data source we want out zips.txt file. Browse for it and select it. You should notice the wizard tries to fill in the blanks for you. One key thing here with this file I picked is there are “ “ qualifiers. So we need to make
sure we add “ into the text qualifier field. The wizard will not do this for you.
Go through the remaining pages to view everything. No further changes should be needed though
Hit next after checking the pages out and select your destination. This in our case will be DBA.dbo.zips.
Following the destination step, go into the edit mappings section to ensure we look good on the types and counts.
Hit next and then finish. Once completed you will see the count of rows transferred and the success or failure rate
Import wizard completed and you have the data!
bcp utility
Method two is bcp with a format file http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802.aspx
This is probably going to win for speed on most occasions but is limited to the formatting of the file being imported. For this file it actually works well with a small format file to show the contents and mappings to SQL Server.
To create a format file all we really need is the type and the count of columns for the most basic files. In our case the qualifier makes it a bit difficult but there is a trick to ignoring them. The trick is to basically throw a field into the
format file that will reference it but basically ignore it in the import process.
Given that our format file in this case would appear like this
9.0
9
1 SQLCHAR 0 0 """ 0 dummy1 ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 1 Field1 ""
3 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 2 Field2 ""
4 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 3 Field3 ""
5 SQLCHAR 0 50 ""," 4 Field4 ""
6 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 5 Field5 ""
7 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 6 Field6 ""
8 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 7 Field7 ""
9 SQLCHAR 0 50 "n" 8 Field8 ""
The bcp call would be as follows
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinn>bcp DBA..zips in “C:zips.txt” -f “c:zip_format_file.txt” -S LKFW0133 -T
Given a successful run you should see this in command prompt after executing the statement

bcp import completed!
BULK INSERT
Next, we have BULK INSERT given the same format file from bcp
CREATE TABLE zips (
Col1 nvarchar(50),
Col2 nvarchar(50),
Col3 nvarchar(50),
Col4 nvarchar(50),
Col5 nvarchar(50),
Col6 nvarchar(50),
Col7 nvarchar(50),
Col8 nvarchar(50)
GO
INSERT INTO zips
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:Documents and SettingstkruegerMy Documentsblogcenzuszipcodeszips.txt',
FORMATFILE='C:Documents and SettingstkruegerMy Documentsblogzip_format_file.txt'
) as t1 ;
GO
That was simple enough given the work on the format file that we already did. Bulk insert isn’t as fast as bcp but gives you some freedom from within TSQL and SSMS to add functionality to the import.
SSIS
Next is my favorite playground in SSIS
We can do many methods in SSIS to get data from point A, to point B. I’ll show you data flow task and the SSIS version of BULK INSERT
First create a new integrated services project.
Create a new flat file connection by right clicking the connection managers area. This will be used in both methods
Bulk insert
You can use format file here as well which is beneficial to moving methods around. This essentially is calling the same processes with format file usage. Drag over a bulk insert task and double click it to go into the editor.
Fill in the information starting with connection. This will populate much as the wizard did.
Example of format file usage
Or specify your own details
Execute this and again, we have some data
Data Flow method
Bring over a data flow task and double click it to go into the data flow tab.
Bring over a flat file source and SQL Server destination. Edit the flat file source to use the connection manager “The file” we already created. Connect the two once they are there
Double click the SQL Server Destination task to open the editor. Enter in the connection manager information and select the table to import into.
Go into the mappings and connect the dots per say
Typical issue of type conversions is Unicode to non-unicode.
We fix this with a Data conversion or explicit conversion in the editor. Data conversion tasks are usually the route I take. Drag over a data conversation task and place it between the connection from the flat file source to the SQL Server destination.
New look in the mappings
And after execution…
SqlBulkCopy Method
Sense we’re in the SSIS package we can use that awesome “script task” to show SlqBulkCopy. Not only fast but also handy for those really “unique” file formats we receive so often
Bring over a script task into the control flow
Double click the task and go to the script page. Click the Design script to open up the code behind

How get all rows of a table with a BAPI

Hi,
how is it possible to get more then one row by calling a BAPI from the WD. In my Application I need the rows of a Table coming from the r/3 System. How is it possible to get all the rows after the first call? What is the logic behind it? My purpose is also to create an own BAPI.

Hi,
If I understand, you don't want display the result into a Web Dynpro Table. If so, after the execution, the result of your request is stored into the context. Then you don't really need to transfert the data from your context to an Java Array.
But if you want to do it, here is the code :
guess your result node called
nodeResult
Vector myVector = new Vector();
for (int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodeResult().size(); i++){
myVector.put(wdContext.nodeResult().getElementAt(i));
I hope this will answer to your question.

How to increase row height in table control?

Hi experts,
We have a push button in table control created using screen painter. Since this is a touch screen transaction, the default height is very small for the worker in the plant to click on a specific row, i would like to know if there is any way to increase the row height in the table control. There is no attribute in Screen painter for increasing row height in table control. I did try "import dynpro", hoping to increase the row height and export the dynpro, but that doesn't seem to have row height attributes. Any help in this regard is highly appreciated. Thanks,
Raj

Using a new technology means you have to recreate your screen: you may create an HTML using CL_DD_* classes (that's called "Dynamic Documents"). See [SAP Library - DD programming guide|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/13/12284b019511d4a73e0000e83dd863/frameset.htm]. Demos are provided in SDYNAMICDOCUMENTS package. Or I think you may create web dynpro and define a CSS style to enlarge objects.
If you don't want to create everything, maybe you can find out a workaround with GuiXT, for example creating a big button in each row (for example, with BUTTONSIZE, but don't know if it changes the height of rows but that's worth trying).
Well, [Synactive documentation about table controls|http://www.synactive.com/docu_e/specials/tables.html] does not seem to allow that.
Maybe you can move your question to the "scripting" forum and ask about how to do it with GuiXT...

public class ClsRowIndexBean
private int _counter=0;
public ClsRowIndexBean()
public int getCounter()
return _counter++;
public int getCurrentCounter()
return _counter;
public void setCounter(int counter)
_counter = counter;
}

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 limit rows for a table?

Hi,
does anyone knows a good way to limit the number of rows for a table?
thanks
aldo

You can limit the number of rows using a trigger. Below is quick and dirty example that has not been fully tested.
test@ORCL> create table rowlimit (col1 number);
Table created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.34
test@ORCL> create or replace trigger limit_rows
2 before insert
3 on rowlimit
4 declare
5    v_count number;
6 begin
7     select count(*)
8     into v_count
9     from rowlimit;
10
11     if v_count >= 4 then
12       raise_application_error(-20000, 'Table can have no more then 4 rows');
13     end if;
14 end;
15 /
Trigger created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.09
test@ORCL> insert into rowlimit values(1);
1 row created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.03
test@ORCL> insert into rowlimit values(2);
1 row created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.00
test@ORCL> insert into rowlimit values(3);
1 row created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.00
test@ORCL> insert into rowlimit values(4);
1 row created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.00
test@ORCL> insert into rowlimit values(5);
insert into rowlimit values(5)
ERROR at line 1:

How to fetch rows from a table like search engines do?

Is it possible to fetch rows from a table like Google does? I want to fetch row number 20-40 after the select has ordered the rows.
Pseudo code: select * from log where rownum > 20 and rownum < 40 order by date;
Rownum doesn't work with ordering so I tried:
select * from log where (select * from log order by date) and rownum <20;
But that still doesn't do what I want. I get the "top 20" rows but I can't get rows 20-40.
My real table has 70000 rows and I want to select 69000-70000 so I really need a SQL do fetch only the rows I need.
Any help would be very appreciated!
Best regards,
Christer Nordvik

SELECT alias_for_rownum, column_names
        FROM   (SELECT ROWNUM AS alias_for_rownum, column_names
                FROM   (SELECT   column_names
                        FROM     table_name
                        ORDER BY columns_to_order_by)
                WHERE ROWNUM <= last_row_you_want)
        WHERE alias_for_rownum >= first_row_you_want
Example:
-- (This example uses the Oracle dept demo table.
SET AUTOTRACE ON EXPLAIN
SELECT rn, deptno, dname, loc
        FROM   (SELECT ROWNUM AS rn, deptno, dname, loc
                FROM   (SELECT   deptno, dname, loc
                        FROM     dept
                        ORDER BY deptno)
                WHERE ROWNUM <= 3)
        WHERE rn >= 2
                RN     DEPTNO DNAME          LOC
                 2         20 RESEARCH       DALLAS
