Transposing column names to row for a multi row table

Hi
I have a table some thing like this that needs to be transposed.
FIELD_POPULATED First_NM**Last_NM**Mi_NM*
A_NULL 0 0 0
A_NOT_NULL 120 120 120
B_NULL 0 0 0
B_NOT_NULL 0 0 0
The above table has to be transposed as
column_name*A_NULL**A_NOT_NULL**B_NULL* B_NOT_NULL
FIRST_NM 0 120 0 0
Last_NM 0 120 0 0
Mi_NM 0 120 0 0
I am working oracle on 11g. Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,

Sql Transposing Column Name in Row

i am using Sql Server 2008
tbl_EmployeeProfile
EmployeeId EmployeeName LeaveApplicable Active
1 Sam true true
2 Rahul false false
3 Sameer true true
tbl_MasterLeave
id LeaveCode Description active
1 PL Paid Leave true
2 CL Casual Leave true
3 SL Sick Leave false
tble_LeaveAllocation
EmployeeId Period 1 2 3 .........31
1 2014 18 4
3 2014 20 4
note: tble_Masterleave.id = tble_LeaveAllocation.1( column Name)
i.e value of tbl_masterleave id is mape with column name of tble_LeaveAllocation 1,2,.....31
Expected out put
EmployeeId EmployeeeName Period PL CL
1 Sam 2014 18 4
3 Sameer 2014 20 4
Note: show only record who is active = true & leaveApplicable = true .
why i made this table structure because non of organization leave type are not fixed, so user can customize leave according their requirment , so i made tbl_ allocation table with 1 to 31 column , so user can allocate leave type max 31.
please advice me is it right method or any other good alternative solution
Thanks Best Regard Naweez

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:
https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
Why are you so special that you do not have to post DDL? I Googled you and got nothing that would grant you privilege.
You have the manners of a pig and your code is garbage. Look up tibbling in the “code smells” paper. That is what we call your “tbl-”
prefix when we laugh at you.
Why do you write SQL with assembly language flags? SQL programmers do not! Why did you use the term “master_” on a table name? This term is from tape files and network DB; it has nothing to do with RDBMS!!
Why do you think that “active” is an attribute? NO! It is a value of some particular attribute and needs a temporal range.
There is no generic “id” in RDBMS! Remember the Law of Identity from your first freshman logic class? Rows are not records, so you got that term wrong. We do not use mappings in RDBMS; we have REFERENCES.
CREATE TABLE Personnel
(emp_id CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
emp_name VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE Leave_Codes
(leave_code CHAR(2) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
leave_code_description VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO Leave_Codes
VALUES
('PL', 'Paid Leave'),
('CL', 'Casual Leave'),
('SL', 'Sick Leave);
I might have done this:
CREATE TABLE Employee_Leaves
(emp_id CHAR(10) NOT NULL
REFERENCES Personnel(emp_id)
leave_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
leave_end_date DATE NOT NULL,
CHECK(leave_start_date < leave_end_date),
leave_code CHAR(2) NOT NULL
REFERENCES Leave_Codes (leave_code),
PRIMARY KEY (??),

No, you did this out of ignorance. You do not understand RDBMS or SQL. YHou do not know any of the basics.

No Column Name Was Specified for Column 1 of 'ShipFromStoreXML'

I get the error:
Msg 8155, Level 16, State 2, Line 16
No column name was specified for column 1 of 'ShipFromStoreXML'.
My SQL is as follows:

   AS ShipFromStoreXML
Ryan P. Casey • <a href="http://www.R-P-C-Group.com">www.R-P-C-Group.com</a>

You just have to give the column an alias
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT [StoreInventoryID] AS A
,[StoreID]
,[ProductID] AS B
,[QtyOnHand]
,[QtyDefective]
,[QtyTradeHold]
,[ModifiedDate]

,[QtyHopsHold]
,[QtyTradeHoldDefective]
FROM [StoreInformation].[dbo].[StoreInventory]
WHERE StoreID = 8127
FOR XML PATH('Item'),ROOT('ShipNode')
AS ShipFromStoreXML(x)

I have some code that takes a csv and loads it into a type table.Why a type table? Where is type table defined as such?
with PL/SQL, objects must be declared before they can be referenced.
You need to correct syntax errors before tackling any runtime/logic flaws.

How can I insert an aggregated column name as a string in the target table?

I have a large source table, with almost 70 million records. I need to pull the sum of four of the columns into another target table, but instead of having the same four target columns I just want to have two.
So, let's take SUM(col1), SUM(col2), SUM(col3), and SUM(col4) from the source DB & insert them into the target like this:
SOURCE_COLUMN
| AMOUNT
1 col1
| SUM_AMOUNT
2 col2
| SUM_AMOUNT
3 col3
| SUM_AMOUNT
4 col4
| SUM_AMOUNT
I know how to do this in four separate Data Flows using the source, an Aggregation Transformation, a Derived Column (to hard code the SOURCE_COLUMN label), and destination... but with this many records, it takes over 3 hours to run because it has to loop
through these records four separate times instead of once. Isn't there a way to do this with one Data Flow? I'm thinking maybe Conditional Split?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi ,
This could be achieved using UNPIVOT transformation. The below sample uses the below source query
SELECT 1 AS COL1,2 AS COL2,3 AS COL3,4 AS COL4
setup the UNPIVOT transformation as below
The output of unpivot transformation will be as below
Hope this helps.

How to dynamically set column name in Answers

Hi.
How to dynamically set column name in Answers, for example I want to put presentation variable in column header. Is this possible?
Regards,
Goran Ocko
http://108obiee.blogspot.com/

May be a rude way .. but it works.
Add narrative view and use Java script to change the column headings based on the variables.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var a = document.getElementById('idResultsTableParent');
var rows= a.getElementsByTagName('tr');
rows[1].cells[1].innerText ="@{Presentation Variable}";
</script>

Reading MS Project column names and data on the fly from a selected View

Hi guys,
I have several views on my project file (MSPROJECT 2010) and I want to build a macro so that;
1. User can select any view ( Views can have diffrent columns and the user may add new columns as well)
2. User runs the Macro and all the coulmns along with the tasks displayed in the view will be written to a excel file. ( I don't want to build several macro's for each view, I'm thinking of a common method which would work for any selected view)
The problem I'm facing is that how will i read the column names and data for a particular view on the fly without hard coding them inside the vba code ?
The solution needs to work on a master schedule as well.
Appreciate your feedback.

Just to get you started the following code writes the field name and data for the active task to the Immediate window.
Sub CopyData()
Dim fld As TableField
For Each fld In ActiveProject.TaskTables(ActiveProject.CurrentTable).TableFields
If fld.Field >= 0 Then
Debug.Print Application.FieldConstantToFieldName(fld.Field), ActiveCell.Task.GetField(fld.Field)
End If
Next fld
End Sub

Column name in a query contains special characters

Hi folks,
The column name in a query contains special characters. For example ~ or ^. The creator of the table put these column names under double quotation while creating the table. When I get the column names form the result set meta data object it returns without quotation. Is there any way to tell the jdbc driver so that it return those column names as it was created, I mean in double quotation.
The help is urgent. I will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks �.
[using oracle driver for 10g]
Thanks
Angelina

Just because the column names were in quotations when the database was created doesn't mean that the quotes are actually part of the names. What's inside the quotes is what makes the column name in the database. If I created a column as "abcd" and put it in quotes just like that ("abcd"), it would go in the database as abcd since SQL would strip off the quotes.
And there's your answer. Just put all column names in quotes whenever you need to talk to SQL. It will strip off the quotes and understand.
I think SQL will also accept square brackets ([ and ]).

Changing the Column names / alias

Hi,
I have an oracle query and it works fine.
select q.sname,
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,10,1,0)) as "0 - 5",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,9,1,0)) as "6 - 10",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,8,1,0)) as "11 - 15",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,7,1,0)) as "16 - 19",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,6,1,0)) as "20 - 20",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,5,1,0)) as "21 - 27",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,4,1,0)) as "28 - 30",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,3,1,0)) as "31 - 40",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,2,1,0)) as "41 - 45",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,1,1,0)) "46 - Over",
COUNT(q.sname) "TOTAL"
from task_core@cds t, cor_queue q, profile_core@crb p
where t.nmboxid = q.nmboxid
and p.ncodaid = t.nobjectid
and p.ntype=2
GROUP BY q.sname
ORDER BY q.sname
It generates a Cross-tab sort of result and I am using the decode function to generate the result.
My problem is that right now I am using hardcoded column names or alias for the columns generated by the decode function. eg. "0-5", "6-10" etc.
I have another table which contains these values ("0-5","6-10"). I would like to know instead of hard coding the column names like
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,10,1,0)) as "0 - 5"
can we retrieve the values from the Other table that contains the values "0-5","6-10" etc and display it there in the decode function?
Pls help me with this issue
Thanks

hi,
the column names are always fixed. You can try dynamic sql in pl/sql or spool then execute, but in pure sql, it is not possible

Not showing the column name

Hi
I am using jdev 11.1.1.3
.i i dragged an adf table from data control.it has got 3 columns.i changed the name of first column as Lang grades.when i run that it is showing the column name as lang grades.then in that table two fields r mandatory.so in the property inspector i put the show required as true.but after that on running it is not showing the column name as lang grades.there is only the star sign for showing the attribute as required only.

Hi,
not enough information. So from your description, a column that is not marked required on its cell renderer component is not displayed at runtime. I am not aware of such a problem and suggest to try a later version of 11g R1 (11.1.1.6) to see if this reproduces. This allows you to exclude a probelm with 11.1.1.3 only

Lookup column names with Power Query

Hi,
before I go ahead and change source files, I was wondering if I can use Power Query to get a model with the following data. To simplify the example, I have the following dataset in an Excel sheet:
In another Excel sheet, the column names are defined, for example:
What would like to have in Power Query is one table with the column names from the second screenshot in column B. Is there a way to link these two tables together in Power Query in order to use these names as column headers in the dataset?
Thanks!
- If a post answers your question, please click "Mark As Answer" on that post!

You can filter the list of renames against the list of actual column names with something like
FilteredColumns = Table.SelectRows(Columns, each List.Contains(Table.ColumnNames(Source), [Name])),
Again, the working end-to-end:
let
Source = Table.FromRows({{"New York", 23, 51, 732}, {"Chicago", 25, 421, 23}, {"Los Angeles", 632, 22, 423}}, {"City", "Col 1", "Col 2", "Col 3"}),
Columns = Table.FromRows({{"Col 1", "Column 1"}, {"Col 2", "Column 2"}, {"Col 3", "Column 3"}, {"Col 4", "Column 4"}}, {"Name", "Value"}),
FilteredColumns = Table.SelectRows(Columns, each List.Contains(Table.ColumnNames(Source), [Name])),
ColumnsAsRenames = Table.TransformRows(FilteredColumns, Record.FieldValues),
RenamedColumns = Table.RenameColumns(Source, ColumnsAsRenames)
in
RenamedColumns
