Please help me for solving below scenario. I have multiple value in single column with comma seperated values and my requirement is load that data into multiple rows.
Below is the example:
Source Data:

ABC              X                                     1
ABC              XL                                   2
ABC              XXL                                 3
ABC              M                                    4

Which transformation we need to use for getting this output?
Thanks in advance !

Hello,
Do you need to do this tranformation through OWB mapping only? And can you please tell what type of source you are using? Is it a flat file or a table?
Thanks

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

Hi,
Here is a codeplex solution can meet your reference:
Plumsail String Workflow Actions for SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint Online
http://spworkflowactions.codeplex.com/
We can use Split string workflow action to split the CustName value, then insert it to ListB.

Interactive report – column heading in multiple rows

I am using interactive report. My question to the expert/guru’s is: - How do I change column heading into multiple row with text wrap.
For example:- My column heading is
Is Employee Trained ? -------> (single row display)
I want to make it display like
Is Employee
Trained ? ------> (Multi row display)
Sagar

Hi,
What you could do is, disable the download csv function from IR (Interactive Report Attributes--> Search Bar-- Uncheck Download) and in the region header create a link and redirect it to another page which will have the csv report output.
e.g. <a href="#" onclick="javascript:redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:3::');"" >Download Report </a>
Here I am redirecting the link to Page 3. On Page 3 create a sql report with the same query and make report template to csv. Thanks,
Manish

Split single row into multiple rows containing time periods

Hi,
I have a table with rows like this:
id, intime, outtime
1, 2010-01-01 00:10, 2010-01-3 20:00
I would like to split this row into multiple rows, 1 for each 24hr period in the record.
i.e. The above should translate into:
id, starttime, endtime, period
1, 2010-01-01 00:10, 2010-01-02 00:10, 1
1, 2010-01-02 00:10, 2010-01-03 00:10, 2
1, 2010-01-03 00:10, 2010-01-03 20:00, 3
The first starttime should be the intime and the last endtime should be the outtime.
Is there a way to do this without hard-coding the 24hr periods?
Thanks,
Dan Scott

Thanks for all the feedback, Dan.
It appears that the respective solutions provided will give you: a) different resultsets and b) different performance.
Regarding your 'truly desired resultset' you haven't answered all questions from my previous post (there are differences in the provided examples), but anyway:
I found that using CEIL or ROUND makes quite a difference, using my 'simple 3 record testset' (30 records vs. 66 records got initially returned, that's less than half of the original). That's quite a difference. However, I must call it a day (since it's almost midnight) for now, so there's room for more optimizement and I haven't thoroughly tested.
But this might hopefully make a difference performancewise when compared to my previous 'dreaded example':
SQL> drop table t;
Table dropped.
SQL> create table t as
2 select 1 id, to_date('2010-01-01 00:10', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') intime, to_date('2010-01-03 20:00', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') outtime from dual union all
3 select 2 id, to_date('2010-02-01 00:10', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') intime, to_date('2010-02-05 20:00', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') outtime from dual union all

Smith      41
Jaguar                   Pint         26Please help with ideas as to how can i achive the above without using PLSQL.
Thanks in advance!You should be doing this in the client on not in the DB. Use the reporting tool that you use to do this.
For example if you are in SQL Plus you can use the BREAK command.

Alternative way to fetch the data into single row.

we have a query
SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME='XXX';
This query will return the data in multiple rows.
May know the alternative way to retrieve all the multiple rows in **single row with each row as a seperate column**.

Why specifically an array - and do you want the SQL projection as an array, or collect the SQL projection into an array?
E.g.
SQL> create or replace type TStrings is table of varchar2(4000);
2 /
Type created.
SQL> --// SQL projection casted into an array
SQL> select
2          cast(
3                  MultiSet(
4                          select column_name from all_tab_columns where table_name = 'KU$_DATAPUMP_MASTER_11_2' and owner = 'SYS'
5                  )
6                  as TStrings
7          )                       as COLUMN_ARRAY
8 from       dual

Please - immediate help needed parsing csv values into multiple rows

Hello, we have a very immediate need to be able to parse out a field of comma separated values into individual rows. The following is an example written in SQL Server syntax which does not work in Oracle.
The tricky part is that each ROUTES can be a different length, and each CSV can have a different number of routes in it.
Here is an example of the table ("Quotes") of CSV values I want to normalize:
TPNUMBER ROUTES
1001 1, 56W, 18
1002 2, 16, 186, 28
Here is an example of what I need it to look like:
TPNUMBER ROUTES
1001 1
1001 56W
1001 18
1002 2
1002 16
1002 186
1002 28
Here is the "Tally" table for the query below:
ID
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
And finally, here is the query which parses CSV values into multiple rows but which does not work in Oralce:
SELECT TPNUMBER,
NullIf(SubString(',' + ROUTES + ',' , ID , CharIndex(',' , ',' + ROUTES + ',' , ID) - ID) , '') AS ONEROUTE
FROM Tally, Quotes
WHERE ID <= Len(',' + ROUTES + ',') AND SubString(',' + Phrase + ',' , ID - 1, 1) = ','
AND CharIndex(',' , ',' + ROUTES + ',' , ID) - ID > 0
It may be necessary to use a cursor to loop through the CSV table and process each row (a loop within another loop...) but this is beyond my comprehesion of PL/SQL.
Many thanks in advance for your advice/help.

Not sure what you are trying to do with the last step, but this should work for the first part. I assume you would use sqlldr but I just did inserts instead. You might need more than 5 "routes" in the csv. You could put some reasonable max on that number of columns:
SQL>create table t_csv
2 (TPNUMBER varchar2(20),
3 ROUTE_1 VARCHAR2(5),
4 ROUTE_2 VARCHAR2(5),
5 ROUTE_3 VARCHAR2(5),
6 ROUTE_4 VARCHAR2(5),
7 ROUTE_5 VARCHAR2(5),
8 ROUTE_6 VARCHAR2(5) );
Table created.
SQL>INSERT INTO t_csv (TPNUMBER,ROUTE_1,ROUTE_2) values( '1001 1', '56W', '18' );
1 row created.
SQL>INSERT INTO t_csv (TPNUMBER,ROUTE_1,ROUTE_2,ROUTE_3) values( '1002 2', '16', '186', '28');
1 row created.
SQL>create table t_quotes(
2 tpnumber NUMBER,
3 routes VARCHAR2(5));
Table created.
SQL>DECLARE
2 L_tpnumber NUMBER;
3 L_route VARCHAR2(5);
4 begin
5 for rec in (select * from t_csv) loop
6 L_tpnumber := SUBSTR(rec.tpnumber,1,INSTR(rec.tpnumber,' ')-1);
7 L_route := SUBSTR(rec.tpnumber,INSTR(rec.tpnumber,' ')+1);
8 insert into t_quotes values( L_tpnumber, l_route );
9 if rec.route_1 is not null then
10 insert into t_quotes values( L_tpnumber, rec.route_1 );
11 end if;
12 if rec.route_2 is not null then
13 insert into t_quotes values( L_tpnumber, rec.route_2 );
14 end if;
15 if rec.route_3 is not null then
16 insert into t_quotes values( L_tpnumber, rec.route_3 );
17 end if;
18 if rec.route_4 is not null then
19 insert into t_quotes values( L_tpnumber, rec.route_4 );
20 end if;
21 if rec.route_5 is not null then
22 insert into t_quotes values( L_tpnumber, rec.route_5 );
23 end if;
24 end loop;
25 end;
