Splitting a column data into 4 different columns

HI ALl,
I have a column that bring the data friom the database like this :
1.1.01 10.1 M10-08: This is the best deal ever
I want to split that up into 4 columns ( prefrebely in RPD) . 1 column will be 1.1.01, 2nd column as just M or Q ( Depending upon the data) . 3rd Column as M10-08. 4th Column as the vervbage ( eg : this is the best deal ever).
How would i do this. ANy help will be appreciated.
thanks

Hi user599926,
The Business Model and Mapping Layer (logical layer) in the RPD is the right place for this kind of change. Here's what you do
1) Import your physical table into the RPD
2) Drag and drop that table into a BMM folder
4) Right click on the logical table and select "New Object" -> "Logical Column..."
5) Give the column a name
6) Click on the Data Type tab
7) Double click on the Logical Table Source (LTS) *Make sure "Show all logical sources" is checked
8) Uncheck "Show mapped columns"
9) Check "Show unmapped columns"
10) you should now only see your new column.
11) Click on the three dots "..." next to the name of the column.
12) Use the SUBSTRING() function on your original field. E.g. SUBSTRING(FIELD1 FROM 1 FOR 6)
13) Hit OK
14) Hit OK
15) Repeat steps 4-14 for 2nd ,3rd and 4th column. They will just have a different FROM and FOR number.
Good luck!

Put this code in ur script component. Before that add 5 columns to the script component output and name them as ID, col1, co2..,col4. ID is of data type int. Create a flat file destination and name it as connection and point it to the flat file as the source.
Im not sure whats the delimiter in ur flat file between the 2 columns. I have use a comma change it accordingly.
This is the output I get:
ID Col1
Col2 Col3
Col4
1 john
Greg David
Sam
2 tom
tony NULL
NULL
3 harry
NULL NULL

How to display rows of data into different columns?

I'm new to SQL and currently this is what I'm trying to do:
Display multiple rows of data into different columns within the same row
I have a table like this:
    CREATE TABLE TRIPLEG(
        T#              NUMBER(10)      NOT NULL,
        LEG#            NUMBER(2)       NOT NULL,
        DEPARTURE       VARCHAR(30)     NOT NULL,
        DESTINATION     VARCHAR(30)     NOT NULL,
        CONSTRAINT TRIPLEG_PKEY PRIMARY KEY (T#, LEG#),
        CONSTRAINT TRIPLEG_UNIQUE UNIQUE(T#, DEPARTURE, DESTINATION),
        CONSTRAINT TRIPLEG_FKEY1 FOREIGN KEY (T#) REFERENCES TRIP(T#) );
    INSERT INTO TRIPLEG VALUES( 1, 1, 'Sydney', 'Melbourne');
    INSERT INTO TRIPLEG VALUES( 1, 2, 'Melbourne', 'Adelaide');
The result should be something like this:
> T# | ORIGIN | DESTINATION1 | DESTINATION2
> 1   | SYDNEY | MELBORUNE     | ADELAIDE
The query should include the `COUNT(T#) < 3` since I only need to display the records less than 3. How can I achieve the results that I want using relational views???
Thanks!!!

T#
LEG#
DEPARTURE
DESTINATION
1
1
Sydney
Melbourne
1
2
Melbourne
Adelaide
1
3
Adelaide
India
1
4
India
Dubai
2
1
India
UAE

USA
On 11gr2, you may use this :
SELECT t#,
         REGEXP_REPLACE (
            LISTAGG (departure || '->' || destination, ' ')
               WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY t#, leg#),
            '([^ ]+) \1+',
            '\1')
    FROM tripleg
    where leg#<=3
GROUP BY t#;
Output:
1 Sydney->Melbourne->Adelaide->India
2 India->UAE->Germany->USA

Mapping different same column value into different column based on conditio

Hi experts,
We have source as Oracle tables and target also Oracel tables.
Source
Column1|Column2|Column3
Target
trg1|trg2
I need to
insert the value of Column1 into trg1 where column2='xxx'
insert the value of column1 into trg2 where column3='yyy'
After giving the conditions on the mapping, the where conditions are getting clubed with and and I am getting different value than what is excepted. Like the similar way I have the same scenario for most of the columns in my target table. Suggest me how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I tried the mapping but getting duplicate records.
case1: Only AND condtion is getting applied automatically as per the joins between tables..i m not able to change the AND to OR condition since there are three table joins.
case2: when i try to execute the separate query for the column, i getting the values once put in case statement only NULL values are getting fetched.
As all my target mapping are like this...lot of issues are getting raised while fetching records...
I have given my scenario once again below.
src1
col1
src2
col1
col2
col3
col4
src3
col1
tar1
col1
col2
mapping given are
tar1.col1 = select src2.col3 where src2.col1='xxx' and src2.col2='yyy' and src2.col4=src1.col1
tar1.col2 = select src2.col3 where src2.col1='aaa' and src2.col2='bbb' and src2.col4=scr2.col1
Kindly suggest how to do the mapping in details...I am stuck bcoz of this mapping......thanks in advance.

Splitting one column into different columns.

Hello Experts,
How do i split datetime column into different columns while doing a Select statement.
Ex:
The column "REC_CRT_TS" has data like "2014-05-08 08:23:09.0000000".The datatype of this column is "DateTime". And i want it in SELECT statement like;
SELECT
YEAR(DATETIME) YEAR,
MONTH(DATETIME) MONTH,
DATENAME(DATETIME) MONTHNAME,
DATEPART(DATETIME) WEEKNUM,
DAY(DATETIME) DATE,
DATEPART(DATETIME) HOUR
FROM TABLE_NAME;
The output should look like this;
--YEAR| MONTH | MONTHNAME| WEEKNUM | DATE | HOUR
--2014| 5 | May | 25 | 08 |08
Any suggestions please.
Thanks!

I made a very quick research and I see in this blog post
http://www.jamesserra.com/archive/2011/08/microsoft-sql-server-parallel-data-warehouse-pdw-explained/
that It also uses its own query engine and not all features of SQL
Server are supported. So, you might not be able to use all your DBA tricks. And you wouldn’t want to build a solution against SQL Server and then just hope to upsize it to Parallel Data Warehouse Edition.
So, it is quite possible that this function doesn't exist in PDW version of SQL
Server. In this case you may want to implement case based month name or do it in the client application.

It is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

It doesn't look urgent, you could simply read the manuals for instr and substr or describe any issues or errors you are having, or post sample data so people could help you more easily, or format your code so it is more readable, but you don't bother to do any of those things so if it isn't important to you to extend any effort, why would it be important to us?
If it was really urgent it would be a violation of the conditions of use of these forums.

Changing rows into different column names

Hi,
i need to tranpose the rows into differnent column names
my sample data :
id , val
1 3
1 4
1 5
into
id , val1, val2 , val3 , val4 ... valn ..
1 3 4 5
from askTom's i see that it's tranpose into a single column using the ref cursor ?
how can i do made it into different column names ?
kindly advise
tks & rdgs

For example, lets say that you want to order your columns from least value to greatest and that you'll never have more than three values per id. Then you can use the analytic function row_number() like this to create a pivot value.
select id, val,
       row_number() over (partition by id order by val) as rn
from your_table;And so your pivot query ends up looking like this.
select id,
       max(case when rn=1 then val end) AS val1,
       max(case when rn=2 then val end) AS val2,
       max(case when rn=3 then val end) AS val3
from (
select id, val,
       row_number() over (partition by id order by val) as rn
from your_table
group by id;But notice that I started out by making up answers to Justin's questions. You'll have to supply the real answers.

Split data into different fields in TR

I have a flat file with space (multiple spaces between different fields) as a delimiter. The problem is, file is coming from 3rd party and they don't want to change the separator as comma or tab delimited CSV file. I have to load data in ODS (BW 3x).
Now I am thinking to load line by line and then split data into different objects in Transfer rules.
The Records looks like:
*009785499 ssss BC sssss 2988 ssss 244 sss 772 sss 200
*000000033 ssss AB ssss        0 ssss   0 ssss 0 ssss 0
*000004533 ssss EE ssss        8 ssss   3 ssss 2 ssss 4
s = space
Now I want data to split like:
Field1 = 009785499
Field2 = BC
Field3 = 2988
Field4 = 244
Field5 = 772
Field6 = 200
After 1st line load, go to 2nd line and split the data as above and so on. Could you help me with the code pleaseu2026?
Is it a good design to load data? Any other idea?
I appreciate your helps..

Hi,
Not sure how efficient this is, but you can try an approach on the lines of this link /people/sap.user72/blog/2006/05/27/long-texts-in-sap-bw-modeling
Make your transfer structure in this format. Say the length of each line is 200 characters. Make the first field of the structure of length 200. That is, the length of Field1 in the Trans Struc will be 200.
The second field can be the length of Field2 as you need in your ODS, and similarly for Field3 to Field6. Load it as a CSV file. Since there are no commas, the entire line will enter into the first field of the Trans Structure. This can be broken up into individual fields in the Transfer Rules.
Now, in your Start Routine of transfer rules, write code like this (similar to the ex in the blog):
Field-symbols <fs> type transfer-structure.
Loop at Datapak assigning <fs>.
    split <fs>-Field1 at 'ssss' into <fs>-field1 <fs>-field2 <fs>-field3....
    modify datapak from <fs>
endloop.
Now you can assign Field1 of Trans Struc to Field1 of Comm Struc, Field2 of Trans Struc to Field2 of Comm Struc and so on.
Hope it helps!

How to parse a delimited string and insert into different columns?

Hi Experts,
I need to parse a delimited string ':level1_value:level2_value:level3_value:...' to 'level1_value', 'level2_value', etc., and insert them into different columns of one table as one row:
Table_Level (Level1, Level2, Level3, ...)
I know I can use substr and instr to get level value one by one and insert into Table, but I'm wondering if there's better ways to do it?
Thanks!

However, there is one tiny problem - the delimiter from the source system is a '|' When I replace your test query with | as delimiter instead of the : it fails. Interestingly, if I use ; it works. See below:

The "bar" or "pipe" symbol is a special character, also called a metacharacter.
If you want to use it as a literal in a regular expression, you will need to escape it with a backslash character (\).
Here's the solution -

PS - it works for semi-colon character ";" because it is not a metacharacter. So its literal value is considered by the regex engine for matching.

Insert data into the column which is having null values.

Hi,
I have a column called "Classification_CD" .This column is having NULL values.I want to insert the data into this column.
I tried to write the query as follows. But it is showing the mesg error "SQL Error: ORA-01400 cannot insert NULL into ("ABC"."A_CMP_W"."A_CMP_SEQ_NUM")"
Can any one please help me out to write query to insert the dat afor this.
Thanks.

I think you are taking about updating the null value.So you can do this..

SegregatingTable data into different bucket with equal numebr of

Hi Guys,
I wanted to process table data in chunks not all the rows at a time. How can we achieve this in oracle.
Example :
I have one table EMP which has ten thousands rows(10,000) rows. Now these ten thousands rows are joined with other tables to process data and it takes time. So I wanted to pass one thousands rows at a time as an input to the procedures so that processing should happen only with 1 thousands rows at a time. This table does not have any primary key. So it there any method in oracle using that I can segregating the tables data into different buckets with equal number of rows.
I have used DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE but its taking lots of time. Any help will be appreciated.

I have one table EMP which has ten thousands rows(10,000) rows. Now these ten thousands rows are joined with other tables to process data and it takes time.
OK... So this is your actual problem. And the solution you are trying to come up with does not sound promising. So lets take a step back and re-think our strategy here. First thing would be how about we see some code? Show us your code that you say is running slow. And we can take it from there. The number 10,000 is a very small number. And if that is causing performance issue then you are in some big trouble.
And also it wouldn't hurt if you could read this Re: 3. How to improve the performance of my query? / My query is running slow.

Can we send the data into different data target from single datasource how

Hai
can we send the data into different data target from single datasource how ?

Hi,
Create the transformation for each target and connect through DTP if you are in BI 7.0
If it is BW 3.5 create transfer rules and load it Info source and then different update rules for different targets then load it using IP.
If you are speaking about loading data from R3 data source to multiple data sources in BI
Then follow the below step.
1)create init IP's and run the IP's with different selection to different DSO(With same selection it is not possible).
2)Then you will have different delta queues for the same data source in RSA7
3)Your delta loads will run fine to different data sources from same DS in R3.
Hope this helps
