Merging two rows into a single row

Hi ,
I wish to merge few columns of tow rows into a single row.
if i use union it gives two rows as o/p.
What is the exact sql statement for that?
Thanks

Hi Sridhar,
This is my code for merging and i used union.
Suggest me good solution.

Merging two results into a single row

Hi, Everyone... I think this is a weighted question and I feel like it's a bit difficult to phrase, so if it doesn't make sense - let me know and I'll try to clarify or provide some more concrete examples (if I can) :)
I have a few tables inner joined in my sql query - I'd post the entire query here but it's lengthy and will probably add a bit more confusion so let's start with theorizing - where the results sometimes generate more than one row. If more than one row exists, I'd like to take the lowest number in one field and the highest number in another field, and display them on a single row.
For instance, when I join the PERIOD and SCHEDULE tables, the PERIOD table might provide two rows like the following:
SCHEDULE_ID      PERIOD_ID      START_TIME    END_TIME
123               100           32820          35640
123               101           35940          38760My final result should take the lowest START_TIME and the highest END_TIME, even if they exist is separate rows.
START_TIME     END_TIME
32820           38760It doesn't seem easy to me so if someone can make sense of this - you deserve an award. :) If I can provide some more clarification, please let me know. Thanks for any help. Oracle 11g

You group several rows of output into one row. Then you decide which values from inside that group you want to see. This is certainly possible. There are more aggregation functions available than you might think, not only min/max, also min/max + KEEP, count(case expression) and so on.

Oracle query - Merging multiple rows into a single row output

Hi All,
I have to have a multiple row output to be converted into a single row output.My current output looks as follows:
ID YR INC_CODE OFFN SCHOOLNO
8006 2002 00175 SC03 12
8006 2002 00175 DC06 12
8006 2002 00175 DC03 12
8006 2002 00175 DC02 12
ID,INCIDENT CODE,OFFENSE are all Primary keys
So I need the output as follows:(IN ONE ROW)
ID YR INC_CODE OFFN1 OFFN2 OFFN3 OFFN4 SCHOOLNO
8006 2002 00175 SC03 DC06 DC03 DC02 12
Can you help me on this since have been spinning the wheel and this has to be a query since will have couple of tables join to produce a materialized view.
Thanks in advance

Hi Nigel,
Thanks for the reply I tested out the portion having the decode and I get the output as follows:
ID YR INC_CODE OFFN1 OFFN2 OFFN3 OFFN4 OFFN5
8982 2002 2175 DOC01 -----------------------
8982 2002 2175 DOC02-------------------
8982 2002 2175 DOC03------------
8982 2002 2175 DOC06-------
8982 2002 2175 SCV03
There is no value as max for OFFN and each INC_CODE MAY HAVE UP TO A MAX OF 5 OFFN.My query is as follows:
select distinct STU_STUDENT_ID, INC_BEG_SCH_YR,INC_INCIDENT_CODE
, decode(rank() over (partition by INC_CODE order by OFFN),1,OFFN,null) as offn1
, decode(rank() over (partition by INC_CODE order by OFFN),2,OFFN,null) as offn2
, decode(rank() over (partition by INC_CODE order by OFFN),3,OFFN,null) as offn3
, decode(rank() over (partition by INC_CODE order by OFFN),4,OFFN,null) as offn4
, decode(rank() over (partition by INC_CODE order by OFFN),5,OFFN,null) as offn5
from stu_offn where
stu_offn.ID = '8982' and stu_offn.INC_CODE = '2175'
(****Where clause is just given to just check a value)
So as you know I need to just have all the OFFN in a single row ie as follows:
ID YR INC_CODE OFFN1 OFFN2 OFFN3 OFFN4 OFFN5
8982 2002 2175 DOC01 DOC02 DOC03 DOC06 SCV03
Can you just give me a step by step procedure to go through this and the table in this case is just 'STU_OFFN'
Thanks for the earlier reply appreciate it!

Flatten rows into a single row

Hi All,
I have a table1 with records and PK for table 1 is (Date,Time).
All I have to do is for a particular transaction, I have to get all the records and flatten them into a single row.
For ex: Table 1 has the following
Date Time Col1 Value
08/03/2010 10:00am Employee_name John
08/03/2010 10:00am Employee_ID 20
08/03/2010 10:00am Salary 10000
Now I have a table 2 which has the following structure:
Date Time Employee_name Employee_ID Salary
08/03/2010 10:00am John 20 10000
Please let me know how to achieve this.,
Thank You.

Hi,
Are you saying that you want to create table2, given table1?
Displaying one column from many rows as if they were many columns on one row is called a Pivot , and here's one way to do it:
SELECT       date_time
,       MIN (CASE WHEN col1 = 'Employee_name' THEN value END)     AS employee_name
,       MIN (CASE WHEN col1 = 'Employee_ID'      THEN value END)     AS employee_id
,       MIN (CASE WHEN col1 = 'Salary'      THEN value END)     AS salary
FROM       table1
GROUP BY date_time
;Whenever you have a question, say what version of Oracle you're using.
The query above works in Oracle 8.1 and up, but it might be simpler using the SELECT ... PIVOT feature that was introduced in Oracle 11.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), and also post the results you want from that data.

Merging Multiple Rows into a single Row

I've read a number of posts with no real good answers or answers that might be good for tables with 3 columns of data. I have a table with 33 columns that will all need to be combined. A little history. Apparently in production the Primary Key Constraint
was dropped which allowed some duplicate data into the table. Now they want me to squish the records together to fix it.
Sorry I couldn't include the screen shot of the data, MSDN says my account isn't verified...
My requirements when I'm putting them together, CERElibilityID is a unique column. This is a sticky problem because in the related tables it is only one of the parent records gets child records related to it.
I just want to keep the one that has the child records in CERPrepActivity table. If there are no child records then the rule will be like all the other records with data.
If a field is null and another record has data we take the record that has data.
If multiple records have data we take the record that has the highest "ModifiedOn" timestamp column value.
I feel like I'm asking a lot, but I'm in a bit of a bind and I've spent the morning Googling and have come up with nothing
Thank you for any help the community can provide and the more specific you can be the better. I'm not a DBA or SQL guru by any stretch so I'm way out of my element.
Thanks

Using the systables, you can get information about your table. I put these together:
SELECT '
LEFT OUTER JOIN #CEREligibility ['+c.name+']
ON s.caseID = ['+c.name+'].caseID
AND s.modifiedOn = ['+c.name+'].modifiedOn
AND ['+c.name+'].['+c.name+'] = (SELECT TOP 1 ['+c.name+'] FROM #CEREligibility WHERE caseID = s.caseID AND ['+c.name+'] IS NOT NULL ORDER BY ModifiedOn)
AND ['+c.name+'].['+c.name+'] IS NOT NULL'
FROM tempdb.sys.objects o
INNER JOIN tempdb.sys.columns c
ON o.object_id = c.object_id
AND o.name LIKE '#CEREligibility%'
SELECT '['+c.name+'].['+c.name+'] AS ['+c.name+'], '
FROM tempdb.sys.objects o
INNER JOIN tempdb.sys.columns c
ON o.object_id = c.object_id
AND o.name LIKE '#CEREligibility%'
On my test system I created your table as a temp table named #CEREligibility.
The first of these two queries generates LEFT OUT JOIN SQL for a self join. Because we're using the columns systable, a LOJ for each column is generated.
The second, produces a select list.
Putting the two together like so, and adding a FROM and GROUP BY gives us:
SELECT
MAX([CEREligibilityId].[CEREligibilityId]) AS [CEREligibilityId], s.[CaseId], MAX([M2Eligibility].[M2Eligibility]) AS [M2Eligibility], MAX([CDREligibility].[CDREligibility]) AS [CDREligibility], MAX([M2Comments].[M2Comments]) AS [M2Comments], MAX([M2CommentsRtf].[M2CommentsRtf]) AS [M2CommentsRtf], MAX([CDRComments].[CDRComments]) AS [CDRComments], MAX([CDRCommentsRtf].[CDRCommentsRtf]) AS [CDRCommentsRtf], MAX([RIAWA].[RIAWA]) AS [RIAWA], MAX([RIAWADate].[RIAWADate]) AS [RIAWADate], MAX([EducationAndTraining].[EducationAndTraining]) AS [EducationAndTraining], MAX([EducationAndTrainingDate].[EducationAndTrainingDate]) AS [EducationAndTrainingDate], MAX([Internship].[Internship]) AS [Internship], MAX([InternshipDate].[InternshipDate]) AS [InternshipDate], MAX([Apprenticeship].[Apprenticeship]) AS [Apprenticeship], MAX([ApprenticeshipDate].[ApprenticeshipDate]) AS [ApprenticeshipDate], MAX([Entrepreneurship].[Entrepreneurship]) AS [Entrepreneurship], MAX([EntrepreneurshipDate].[EntrepreneurshipDate]) AS [EntrepreneurshipDate], MAX([EmploymentPrep].[EmploymentPrep]) AS [EmploymentPrep], MAX([EmploymentPrepDate].[EmploymentPrepDate]) AS [EmploymentPrepDate], MAX([OTPrep].[OTPrep]) AS [OTPrep], MAX([OTPrepDate].[OTPrepDate]) AS [OTPrepDate], MAX([ExitInterview].[ExitInterview]) AS [ExitInterview], MAX([ExitInterviewDate].[ExitInterviewDate]) AS [ExitInterviewDate], MAX([CreatedOn].[CreatedOn]) AS [CreatedOn], MAX([CreatedBy].[CreatedBy]) AS [CreatedBy], MAX([ModifiedOn].[ModifiedOn]) AS [ModifiedOn], MAX([ModifiedBy].[ModifiedBy]) AS [ModifiedBy], MAX([BCPermInEligibility].[BCPermInEligibility]) AS [BCPermInEligibility], MAX([CCPermInEligibility].[CCPermInEligibility]) AS [CCPermInEligibility], MAX([M2EligibilityDate].[M2EligibilityDate]) AS [M2EligibilityDate], MAX([CDREligibilityDate].[CDREligibilityDate]) AS [CDREligibilityDate], MAX([ExitSeparationCode].[ExitSeparationCode]) AS [ExitSeparationCode], MAX([ExitSeparationSubCode].[ExitSeparationSubCode]) AS [ExitSeparationSubCode]

When I ran this against your test data, It produced a single row for each of the two case ID's.
To keep performance in line, I also created a covering index on the temp table:
CREATE INDEX idx_caseID_ModifiedOn ON #CEREligibility (caseID, modifiedOn) INCLUDE ([CEREligibilityId], [M2Eligibility], [CDREligibility], [M2Comments], [M2CommentsRtf], [CDRComments], [CDRCommentsRtf], [RIAWA], [RIAWADate], [EducationAndTraining], [EducationAndTrainingDate], [Internship], [InternshipDate], [Apprenticeship], [ApprenticeshipDate], [Entrepreneurship], [EntrepreneurshipDate], [EmploymentPrep], [EmploymentPrepDate], [OTPrep], [OTPrepDate], [ExitInterview], [ExitInterviewDate], [CreatedOn], [CreatedBy], [ModifiedBy], [BCPermInEligibility], [CCPermInEligibility], [M2EligibilityDate], [CDREligibilityDate], [ExitSeparationCode], [ExitSeparationSubCode])

Need help with turning multiple rows into a single row

Hello.
I've come across a situation that is somewhat beyond my knowledge base. I could use a little help with figuring this out.
My situation:
I am attempting to do some reporting from a JIRA database. What I am doing is getting the dates and times for specific step points of a ticket. This is resulting in many rows per ticket. What I need to do is return one row per ticket with a calculation of time between each step. But one issue is that if a ticket is re-opened, I want to ignore all data beyond the first close date. Also, not all tickets are in a closed state. I am attaching code and a sample list of the results. If I am not quite clear, please ask for information and I will attempt to provide more. The database is 10.2.0.4
select jiraissue.id, pkey, reporter, summary
,changegroup.created change_dt
,dbms_lob.substr(changeitem.newstring,15,1) change_type
,row_number() OVER ( PARTITION BY jiraissue.id ORDER BY changegroup.created ASC ) AS order_row
from jiraissue
,changeitem, changegroup
,(select * from customfieldvalue where customfield = 10591 and stringvalue = 'Support') phaseinfo
where jiraissue.project = 10110
and jiraissue.issuetype = 51
and dbms_lob.substr(changeitem.newstring,15,1) in ('Blocked','Closed','Testing','Open')
and phaseinfo.issue = jiraissue.id
and changeitem.groupid = changegroup.id
and changegroup.issueid = jiraissue.id
order by jiraissue.id,change_dt

... I am attempting to do some reporting from a JIRA database. What is a JIRA database?
I am attaching code and a sample list of the results. If I am not quite clear, please ask for information and I will attempt to provide more. Whenever you have a question, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Simplify the problem as much as possible. For example, if the part you don't know how to do only involves 2 tables, then jsut post a question involving those 2 tables. So you might just post this much data:
CREATE TABLE     changegroup
(      issueid          NUMBER
,      created          DATE
,      id          NUMBER
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (21191, TO_DATE ('2008-07-16 09:30:38 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 10);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (21191, TO_DATE ('2008-07-16 11:37:02 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 20);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (21191, TO_DATE ('2010-06-08 09:14:52 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 90);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (21191, TO_DATE ('2010-09-02 11:29:37 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 10);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (21191, TO_DATE ('2010-09-02 11:29:42 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 10);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (21191, TO_DATE ('2010-09-02 11:29:50 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 20);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (21191, TO_DATE ('2010-09-02 11:29:53 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 90);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (23234, TO_DATE ('2008-10-03 10:26:21 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 10);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (23234, TO_DATE ('2008-11-17 09:39:39 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 20);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (23234, TO_DATE ('2011-02-02 06:18:02 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 90);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (23977, TO_DATE ('2008-09-29 02:44:54 PM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 10);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (23977, TO_DATE ('2010-05-29 04:47:37 PM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 30);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (23977, TO_DATE ('2011-02-02 06:14:57 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 10);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (23977, TO_DATE ('2011-02-02 06:15:32 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 20);
INSERT INTO changegroup (issueid, created, id) VALUES (23977, TO_DATE ('2011-02-02 06:15:47 AM', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM'), 90);
CREATE TABLE     changeitem
(      groupid          NUMBER
,      newstring     VARCHAR2 (10)
INSERT INTO changeitem (groupid, newstring) VALUES (10, 'Open');
INSERT INTO changeitem (groupid, newstring) VALUES (20, 'Testing');
INSERT INTO changeitem (groupid, newstring) VALUES (30, 'Blocked');
INSERT INTO changeitem (groupid, newstring) VALUES (90, 'Closed');Then post the results you want to get from that data, like this:
ISSUEID HISTORY
21191 Open (0) >> Testing (692) >> Closed
23234 Open (45) >> Testing (807) >> Closed
23977 Open (607) >> Blocked (249) >> Open (0) >> Testing (0) >> ClosedExplain how you get those results from that data. For example:
"The output contains one row per issueid. The HISTORY coloumn shows the different states that the issue went through, in order by created, starting with the earliest one and continuing up until the first 'Closed' state, if there is one. Take the first row, issueid=21191, for example. It started as 'Open' on July 16, 2008, then, on the same day (that is, 0 days later) changed to 'Testing', and then, on June 8, 2010, (692 days later), it became 'Closed'. That same issue opened again later, on September 2, 2010, but I don't want to see any activity after the first 'Closed'."
The database is 10.2.0.4That's very important. Always post your version, like you did.
Here's one way to get those results from that data:
WITH     got_order_row     AS
     SELECT     cg.issueid
     ,     LEAD (cg.created) OVER ( PARTITION BY cg.issueid
                                      ORDER BY      cg.created
              - cg.created            AS days_in_stage
     ,       ROW_NUMBER ()     OVER ( PARTITION BY cg.issueid
                                      ORDER BY      cg.created
                           )    AS order_row
     ,     ci.newstring                     AS change_type
     FROM    changegroup     cg
     JOIN     changeitem     ci ON   cg.id     = ci.groupid

                       , 'Closed'
                       , 'Testing'
                       , 'Open'

     AND     issueid               = PRIOR issueid
     AND     PRIOR change_type     != 'Closed'
ORDER BY issueid
;Combining data from several rows into one big delimited VARCHAR2 column on one row is call String Aggregation .
I hope this answers your question, but I guessed at so many things, I won't be surprised if it doesn't. If that's the case, point out where this is wrong, post what the results should be in those places, and explain how you get those results. Post new data, if necessary.

Insert data from two rows into a single row in a new table

Hi
i have a table like the following
Deptno Dname      Salary

10     Science     10000
I want to insert data into a new table like the following
Deptno MaxSalCom     Minsalcom MinSalSci     MaxSaSci
10     2000     4000      1000     10000
Deptno--As in Table1
MaxSalCom--Maximum salary for Dname " Computer"
Minsalcom--Minimum salary for Dname " Computer"
MaxSalSci--Maximum salary for Dname " Science"
MinsalSci--Minimum salary for Dname " Science"
Please help me how to go about it

Multiple rows into a single row.

Table structure:
CREATE TABLE JOB_ERROR_MESSAGE_TMP
ERROR_LOG VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE)
This table gets populated with multiple records (approx 20) from the log file of my application.
Example of Data (12 rows below):
ERROR_LOG
XXXXXXXX(Error)-ORA-01756-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-quoted string not properly terminated
line1 of error1
line2 of error1
line3 of error1
XXXXXXXX(Error)-DBS-0000-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-SOME ERROR
line1 of error2
line2 of error2
XXXXXXXX(Error)-DBS-1111-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-SOME NEW ERROR
line1 of error3
line2 of error3
line2 of error4
line4 of error3
I am interested in only the first error. That is: all the rows until the second occurrence of word "(ERROR)"
Desired output:
ORA-01756,quoted string not properly terminated,line1 of error1,line2 of error1,line3 of error1
That is:
The 9 digit code which exists after the 1st encounter of word '(Error)'||','||trim(First line after error)||','||trim(second line after error)||','||
trim of 3rd line <all the lines untill the line containing '(ERROR)' is encountered>
Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

SQL>Your problem is going to be that you haven't got anything in your table which specifies the order of the rows. As such you have an unordered set of data in a table and there is nothing to say which rows of data are associated with other rows. If you want it to work you're going to have to update your table to include a sequence number or a date/timestamp.

Combining multiple rows into a single row

Hi all,
I have a tricky situation in a HR select.
Imagine I have a dataset as below, simplified of course.
Name Start Date End date Job Title Salary
Tom 01/01/07 02/03/08 Gopher £500
Tom 03/03/08 jobsworth £600
Rick 04/05/09 Painter £500
Harry 02/06/07 02/06/08 Gardener £300
Harry 03/06/08 03/06/09 Runner £200
Harry 04/06/09 Cook £400
now, I need to select from above and return 3 rows so it looks as below
name start date enddate title salary start date enddate title salary start date enddate title salary etc etc
tom 01/01/07 02/03/08 gopher £500 03/03/08 blah 600

Now, I know how to select onto one row ok, asumming that each employee has a fixed number of roles but the problem is that each employee has a different number of jobs, one could have had 5 while another 50 and I do not know the maximum at this time.
Anyone have any ideas on how to appraoch this?

Ideally this should be done in a suitable reporting tool.
Standard SQL requires a deterministic number of columns to be known at parse time i.e. before the data is fetched it needs to know how many columns are being returned.
If you know there is a fixed maximum to the number of columns that can be returned you can use one of the various pivot methods (search the forum) which differ depending on whether you're using 9i, 10g or 11g database.
If you can't determine a maximum number of columns you're pretty much stuck, unless you want to write some clever interfacing to the oracle ODCI as demonstrated in this thread:
How to pipeline a function with a dynamic number of columns?
Personally, I believe such reporting styles should be reserved for reporting tools.

Put more than number of rows into a single row

Here's one way (modify to your needs):

SQL> col d2 format a20
SQL> col d3 format a20
SQL> select location_id

Merging two records in a single record for the same matnr,werks and bwart.

Hi I have a requirement to merge two records into one single record using the quantity field from MSEG table.
I am selecting two records from the table MSEG. Now for these two records i have to add the quantity values into one variable.
Then there should be only one record for the same matnr,werks,bwart.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Regards,
Amit

hi,
You can COLLECT statement only if all non key fields are numeric.
This statement Adds all such fields and give us a single record.

You haven't specified if there's a particular order to the data, so I've assumed one...

Merge multiple rows to get single row result

Hi,
Below is the sample data from my table USERINFO-
personid userid username orgid
1234 1235 TOM 1
2345 2346 HARRY 1
1111 2222 BOND     2
3333 4444 BERY 2
Now I want a query which can give me the following result-
personid userid username personid userid username orgid
1234 1235 TOM 2345 2346 HARRY     1
1111 2222 BOND     3333 4444 BERY 2
i.e., two records belonging to the same orgid should be merged into a single row resulset.
Please let me know the SQL query to get the desired result.
Thanks
