How to convert columns into rows using transpose function

Hi
anybody tell me how to convert columns values into rows using transpose function.

Since BluShadow went to all the trouble to put it together, someone should use it.

Split multiple columns into rows using XML

Hi Forum,
I am trying to split 2 columns that each contain values separated by semicolon into single rows. The relation between the values of the two columns is that the order in the cells corresponds to each other.
The data looks like this:
pk    Manufacturer                partnumber
1     Man1; Man2;Man3      PN1;PN2;PN3
2     Man4; Man2;Man5      PN4;PN5;PN6
The result should be:
pk    Manufacturer     partnumber
1       Man1                   PN1
1       Man2                   PN2
1       Man3                   PN3
2       Man4                   PN4
2       Man2                   PN5
2       Man5                   PN6
I am not sure how to format the XML to get a useful Basis for XML.value or XML.query
Any ideas?
TIA
Alex

Hi,
Try like this ,
DECLARE @tmp TABLE (pk INT,Manufacturer NVARCHAR(50),partnumber NVARCHAR(50))
INSERT @tmp SELECT 1,'Man1; Man2;Man3','PN1;PN2;PN3'
INSERT @tmp SELECT 2,'Man4; Man2;Man5','PN4;PN5;PN6'
SELECT * FROM @tmp
SELECT tmp2.pk pk,Manufacturer,partnumber FROM (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER()OVER(ORDER BY tmp1.pk) RN,* FROM (
SELECT pk,
LTRIM(i.value('.','varchar(100)')) Manufacturer
FROM ( SELECT pk, Manufacturer,
CONVERT(XML,'<r><n>'
+ REPLACE(Manufacturer,';', '</n><n>') + '</n></r>') AS X
FROM @Tmp) Spt
CROSS APPLY Spt.X.nodes('//*[text()]') x(i)
) tmp1 ) tmp2
JOIN
(SELECT ROW_NUMBER()OVER(ORDER BY pk) RN,* FROM (
SELECT pk,
j.value('.','varchar(100)') partnumber
FROM ( SELECT pk, partnumber,
CONVERT(XML,'<r><n>'
+ REPLACE(partnumber,';', '</n><n>') + '</n></r>') AS Y
FROM @Tmp) Spt
CROSS APPLY Spt.Y.nodes('//*[text()]') y(j)) tmp2 ) tmp3 ON tmp3.RN = tmp2.RN

Note that the above SQL performs the following steps:
    * determines how many elements are in each string (WITH clause);
    * for each string, generates a collection of n elements (TABLE expression), where n is the derived number of elements in the string. Note in particular the use of "less than" in the "CONNECT BY ROWNUM < ilv.no_of_elements" on line 26. In all versions other than 10.1.x, this will need to be "CONNECT BY ROWNUM <= ilv.no_of_elements" (i.e. "less than or equal to"). There is an unusual bug with this row-generation technique in 10.1 that generates an additional row from the CONNECT BY;
    * uses the generated rows in a Cartesian Product with the original data to generate n rows per string, based on the above definition of n;
    * calculates the start and end position of each element in each string (INSTR); and
    * cuts each element from each string (SUBSTR).

Converting columns into rows

Dear all....I need to convert all columns into rows in a table. For example table has following columns:
Emp_Cod........Val1......Val2......Val3
1 a b c
Now I wish that each column should display as a value like:
Emp_Cod........Val1
1 a
1 b
1 c
Now the one way to solve this job is to write a union statement for each column but for this I'll have to write equal number of select statements as there are columns.
What I need that is there anyway to write minimum code for this job, is there any alternate way???

SQL> with t as(select 1 emp_code, 'a' val1, 'b' val2, 'c' val3 from dual)
2 select*from t unpivot(v for c in(val1,val2,val3));
EMP_CODE C     V
        1 VAL1 a
        1 VAL2 b
        1 VAL3 c
SQL> col COLUMN_VALUE for a20
SQL> with t as(select 1 emp_code, 'a' val1, 'b' val2, 'c' val3 from dual)
2 select*from t,table(sys.odcivarchar2list(val1,val2,val3));
EMP_CODE V V V COLUMN_VALUE
        1 a b c a
        1 a b c b
        1 a b c c

I dont have any idea to do this query.
Please help guys.
Thanks in advance.
Vijay

Well,
As long as your code doesn't have to run in production, simplest way is:
WM_CONCAT (but it's not documented)
or use XMLAGG, it's simpler than a connect by:
MHO%xe> with t as (
2 select 1 col, 'xy' str from dual union all
3 select 2, 'xyy' from dual union all
4 select 3, 'mm'from dual union all
5 select 4, 'pp' from dual union all
6 select 8, 'pp' from dual union all
7 select 12, 'pp' from dual union all
8 select 40, 'pp' from dual
9 )-- actual query, based on id's generated above:
10 select rtrim(xmlagg(xmlelement(e,col||',')).extract('//text()'),',') col
11 from t;
COL
1,2,3,4,8,12,40
1 rij is geselecteerd.

ALV to select more than one column by row using set_table_for_first_display

Hello everyone,
I am developing an application (ALV OO) to select more than 1 column by row ( one ). This is an a holiday application so the idea is:
-One column will be the day, and the row will be the user.
So I am trying to select more than one day by user (that would be the row).
I am using the method set_table_for_first_display but when it shows the alv, doesn't let me to select more than one column with a click of the mouse.
Does anybody know if I can do this (select more than one column, by row) in somehow?
Please let me know if you need more clarification about this.
Thanks in advance
Diego

Hi Diego,
it's all in the documentation.
set different selection modes through the value of the field u201CSEL_MODEu201D in the layout structure.
SPACE
same as 'B'
see 'B'
Default setting
'A'
Column and row selection
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
The user selects the rows through pushbuttons at the left border of the grid control.
'B'
Simple selection, list box
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
'C'
Multiple selection, list box
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
'D'
Cell selection
Multiple columns
Multiple rows
Any cells
The user selects the rows through pushbuttons at the left border of the grid control
Beyond setting this option, you can set u201CNO_ROWMARKu201D option to hide the mark column which is normally visible when the selection mode allows multiple row selection.
One point to notice here is that if you set your ALV Grid as to be editable, it may override your selection mode regardless of your layout settings.

Mild challenge -pivoting *multiple* columns per row using only SQL

Hello All,
I'm in the process of learning the various pivoting techniques available
in SQL, and I am becoming more familiar with the decode,function,group-by
technique seen in many examples on these forums. However, I've got a case
where I need to pivot out 3 different columns for 3 rows of data where the
value of a different column is driving whether or not those columns are pivoted.
I know that last sentence was as clear as mud so I'll show you/provide the simple
scripts and data, and then I'll elaborate a little more beneath.
create table temp_timeline (
mkt_id varchar2(10),
event_id number(8),
event_type varchar2(3),
mod_due_date date,
cur_due_date date,
act_due_date date
insert into temp_timeline values('DSIM6',51,'S1','NOV-13-06','NOV-13-06',NULL);
insert into temp_timeline values('DSIM6',51,'S2','DEC-20-06','DEC-20-06',NULL);
insert into temp_timeline values('DSIM6',51,'S3','JAN-17-07','JAN-17-07',NULL);
insert into temp_timeline values('DSIM6',51,'S4','FEB-14-07','FEB-14-07',NULL);
commit;
select * from temp_timeline;
The "normal" output (formatted with period-separated fields) is:
DSIM6.51.S1.NOV-13-06.NOV-13-06.NULL
DSIM6.51.S2.DEC-20-06.DEC-20-06.NULL
DSIM6.51.S3.JAN-17-07.JAN-17-07.NULL
DSIM6.51.S4.FEB-14-07.FEB-14-07.NULL
The DESIRED 1-row output (formatted with period-separated fields) is:
DSIM6.51.NOV-13-06.NOV-13-06.NULL.DEC-20-06.DEC-20-06.NULL.JAN-17-07.JAN-17-07.NULL.FEB-14-07.FEB-14-07.NULL
So, the first 2 columns in the table have the same data, and the third column
makes the row unique (they could all have the same/similar dates).
If this table only consisted of the first 3 columns then many of the examples seen
on this forum would work well (grouping by the first 2 rows and pivoting out
the "event_type" columns containing (S1,S2,S3,S4) etc.
But, in my case, I need to discard the event_type column and pivot out the
3 columns of date data onto the first row (for each different event_type).
So the 3 Dates associated with the "S2" column would go to the first row, and the
3 dates associated with the "S3" column would also go to the first row (and so on).
The 3 dates need to be 3 distinct columns when they are
pivoted out (not concatenated to each other and pivoted as one column).
Given this, I will need to pivot out a total of 12 different columns for each distinct
(mkt_id, event_id) pair.
For the time being I have accomplished this with a union, but am trying to expand
my abilities with other sql methods. I've seen some very elegant solutions on this
forum so will be interested to see what others can come up with for this solution.
Thanks in advance for any comments you may provide.

Just DECODE based on the event type, which will generate your 12 columns.
SELECT mkt_id, event_id,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S1', mod_due_date, NULL)) s1_mod_due,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S1', cur_due_date, NULL)) s1_cur_due,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S1', act_due_date, NULL)) s1_act_due,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S2', mod_due_date, NULL)) s2_mod_due,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S2', cur_due_date, NULL)) s2_cur_due,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S2', act_due_date, NULL)) s2_act_due,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S3', mod_due_date, NULL)) s3_mod_due,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S3', cur_due_date, NULL)) s3_cur_due,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S3', act_due_date, NULL)) s3_act_due,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S4', mod_due_date, NULL)) s4_mod_due,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S4', cur_due_date, NULL)) s4_cur_due,
       MAX(DECODE(event_type, 'S4', act_due_date, NULL)) s4_act_due
FROM temp_timeline
GROUP BY mkt_id, event_idTested, because you supplied create table and insert statements, thank you.
