Use Pivot & Unpivot in SQL

Dear All,
I have a data under Table in below shape..
1 - means this user is setup on that feature, & 0 means not.
But, I want to see this output in that way..
Means - If
multiple e-mails are configure on same feature, it should come with semi colon in pivot mode..
Pls Help..

  • Use of pivot-unpivot

    Hello,
    I have table T1 which has three columns col1, col2 col3 with values sachin, ramesh, tendulkar resp. I want output same as shown in the screenshot. I want to achieve this using pivot/unpivot operators. Please help.

    Hi Naomi,
    The query you suggested will work of the scenarios where the number of columns are not fixed? I have just given an example but In practicle there can be many more columns to my table like col1,col2,col3.....coln. Please let me know the dynamic query.
    Thanks!
    Sachin
    Naomi's Solution is perfect. If your table does not have fixed columns then there is a design problem. And BTW, In this case how can you have variable columns.
    I mean, there is FirstName, MiddelName and LastName. What is left? All the attributes of a name are considered in these three attributes. Apart from these you have Title, Sex and others but those are not part of a Name.

  • PIVOT table in SQL?

    Hello,
    I have a table with 3 columns, where person_id is unique id.
    <person_id> <event_type> <number_events>
    1. I need to transform this into a table with <person_id> <event_type1> <event_type2>.... <event_type-n>
    And under each column I need to fill the number_events for each event_type for that person_id
    2. Next step is to use that table and convert the same into % of number_events under each event_type, as % of total number_events for each id_member
    Thanks

    1. I need to transform this into a table with <person_id> <event_type1> <event_type2>.... <event_type-n>Problem as a SQL projection cannot be of an-unknown-number-of-columns-we-will-figure-it-out-at-run-time. Unless you use some funky PL/SQL coding to create an Advance SQL Data Type that sports a RTTI interface. And this is typically t0o complex for the "normal" PL/SQL developer that almost never use Advance SQL Data Types to create SQL classes, never mind using OCI calls to define PL/SQL methods for RTTI interfaces.
    You can of course have a column that is a collection - and a collection can contain any number of elements.
    Example:
    SQL> -- create a collection type of strings
    SQL> create or replace type TStrings as table of varchar2(4000);
      2  /                                                         
    Type created.
    SQL>
    SQL> col TYPE format a15
    SQL> col NAME_LIST format a100
    SQL>                         
    SQL> -- now perform a pivot using a collection where
    SQL> -- the collection can be 1..n                 
    SQL> select                                        
      2          t.object_type as "TYPE",              
      3          cast(   multiset(

  • Pivot and dynamic SQL

    Hi Team,
    I need to write a SQL to cater the requirements. Below is my requirements:
    pagename fieldname fieldvalue account_number consumerID
    AFAccountUpdate ArrangementsBroken dfsdff 1234 1234
    AFAccountUpdate ArrangementsBroken1 dfsdff 1234 1234
    AFAccountUpdate ArrangementsBroken2 dfsdff 1234 1234
    AFAccountUpdate ArrangementsBroken2 dfsdff 12345 12345
    AFAccountUpdate ArrangementsBroken1 addf 12345 12345
    Create table test_pivot_dynamic
    pagename varchar(200),
    fieldname Varchar(200),
    fieldvalue varchar(500),
    N9_Router_Account_Number bigint,
    TC_Debt_Item_Reference bigint
    --Input
    insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken','addf',1234,1234)
    insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken1','dfsdff',1234,1234)
    insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken2','fder',1234,1234)
    insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken2','dfdfs',12345,12345)

    insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate1','Arrangements','addf',1234,1234)
    insert into test_pivot_dynamic Values('AFAccountUpdate1','Test1','dfsdff',1234,1234)
    --Expected output:
    Select 1234,1234,'AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken','addf','ArrangementsBroken1','dfsdff','ArrangementsBroken2','fder','ArrangementsBroken2','fder'
    Select 12345,12345,'AFAccountUpdate','ArrangementsBroken','addf','ArrangementsBroken1','dfdwe','ArrangementsBroken2','dfdfs'
    Select 1234,1234,'AFAccountUpdate1','Arrangements','addf','Test1','dfsdff'
    so basically we have to pivot and dynamic sql and insert the expected output to a common table which will have all the required fields

  • View API for Pivot/Unpivot - information is missing

    Hi,
    I'm trying to prepare a report in order to show the column mappings over multiple mapping operators usin the view API. Each operator has its particular problems when crossing from out to in, but most of them can be solved using the view API except of the following:
    The Pivot/Unpivot expressions seem not to be documented. ALL_IV_XFORM_MAP_PARAMETERS.transformation_expression is empty for the out parameters (probably due to the 1:n cardinality with the row locator). But where else to look up? I'm unable to cross the bridge from outgroup to ingroup.
    With Join operator there is the problem that the transformation expression doesn't contain the ingroup qualification, so, the true source cannot be identified uniquely when the attribute name is repeated in several ingroups.
    Both informations must be buried somewhere in the repository. I would be satisfied the receive an "undocumented" solution if it is a real deficit in the view API. Maybe some privileged person could post an enhencement request.
    best regards
    Thomas

    Not got a single answer , surprise whether the question is too dumb to ask or JAXB doesn't support feature or my requirement is weird :-) ... in any case let me know please

  • Missing expression Error using pivot function

    Hi,
    When i am running the query:
    The query needs to display name and total:
    {select  *}
    {  from  (select name,nvl(sal,0) tot from tablea }
    {                          GROUP BY name,nvl(sal,0) }
    {  pivot(SUM(tot) for name in (select ltrim(sys_connect_by_path(''''||name||'''', ','), ',') str}
    {from ( select row_number() over(order by name) rn}
    {       ,      name}
    {       from  tablea}
    {where connect_by_isleaf=1}
    {start with rn=1}
    {connect by rn=prior rn+1);}
    When running the above query its giving error:
    ORA-00936: missing expression at line select ltrim(sys_connect_by_path
    Any help will be needful for me

    If you use pivot, you have to hardcode all your values in the FOR IN clause.
    SQL> select *
      2   from (select ename,nvl(sal,0) tot from emp
      3   GROUP BY ename,nvl(sal,0)
      4   )
      5   pivot(SUM(tot) for ename in ( 'SCOTT' ,'KING') )
      6  ;
       'SCOTT'     'KING'
          3000       5000You can't substitute the literal list of values (in my example ('SCOTT','KING') with a subquery producing similar result.
    Only with pivot xml you can put there a subquery, in that case, the result however doesn't have to be in form of comma separated values (like you try to achieve with sys_connect_by_path)
    SQL> select *
      2   from (select ename,nvl(sal,0) tot from emp
      3   GROUP BY ename,nvl(sal,0)
      4   )
      5   pivot xml (SUM(tot) for ename in ( select ename from emp where ename like 'S%' ) )
      6  ;
    ENAME_XML
    <PivotSet><item><column name = "ENAME">SCOTT</column><column name = "SUM(TOT)">3000</column></item><
    item><column name = "ENAME">SMITH</column><column name = "SUM(TOT)">800</column></item></PivotSet>Best regards

  • How to pivot using pivot clause of sqlserver 2005 for three values

    Dear all
                Is it possible to formulate the query using pivote clause of sqlserver 2005.
    ( Table name is) BridgeHawra
    ReportDate,                 , Pole, DiameterCost,Flag,OuterDiaCost
    01 jan 2014,               ,1     ,   4.5      ,yes,6

    1)Pole Col will have unique value.
    o2)One pole will have one DiameterCost, but n number of DiameterCost can be there.
    I have to show a report which should show , count of poles and cost(DiameterCost* pole count of the day of each DiameterCost) for each date and DiameterCost.

                              ,2                                
       ,(2*5.5)
    yours sincerely

    Yes it is possible though you need to use dynamic pivot technique. Dynamic pivot allow you to select/display column names dynamically.
    Below example does not use dynamic pivot,
    --create table #temp(ReportDate datetime,Pole int, DiameterCost decimal(5,2),Flag varchar(3),OuterDiaCost decimal(5,2))
    --insert into #temp values('01 jan 2014',1,4.5,'yes',6)
    --insert into #temp values('01 jan 2014',2,4.5,'no',6)
    --insert into #temp values('01 jan 2014',3,5.5,'no',6)
    --insert into #temp values('02 jan 2014',4,5.5,'no',5.9)
    --insert into #temp values('02 jan 2014',5,5.5,'no',6)
    ;with cte as (
    select ReportDate,
    DiameterCost * PoleCount as DiameterCost,
    PoleCount ,
    'PoleCountofDiameterCost'+cast(DiameterCost as varchar) column1,
    'DiameterCost'+cast(DiameterCost as varchar) column2
    from (
    select ReportDate,DiameterCost,Count(Pole) as PoleCount from #temp
    group by ReportDate,DiameterCost
    ) x
    ),cte1 as (
    select * from cte
    pivot( max(PoleCount) for column1 in ([PoleCountofDiameterCost4.50],[PoleCountofDiameterCost5.50])
    ) pvt
    pivot( max(DiameterCost) for column2 in ([DiameterCost4.50],[DiameterCost5.50])
    ) pvt1
    select ReportDate,
    Max([PoleCountofDiameterCost4.50]) [PoleCountofDiameterCost4.50],
    Max([DiameterCost4.50]) [DiameterCost4.50],
    Max([PoleCountofDiameterCost5.50]) [PoleCountofDiameterCost5.50],
    Max([DiameterCost5.50]) [DiameterCost5.50] from cte1
    group by ReportDate

  • Using MapViewer from PL/SQL vs Java

    Hi group!
    The MapViewer User's Guide has this to say about using MapViewer from PL/SQL:
    "The usage model for the SDO_MVCLIENT package is almost identical to that of
    MapViewer JavaBean-based API" etc etc .. "For usage and reference information about specific functions or procedures, see the description of the associated JavaBean-Based API. methods and interfaces in Chapter 4"
    If I don't misunderstand the basic concept, in a Java Web App (using the MapViewer Bean) you create a MapViewer object for each HTTP-user-session, like so:
    MapViewer mv = new MapViewer("http://my_corp.com:8888/mapviewer/omserver");
    ... which you would then store in the user's session object, so that the MapViewer Bean conveniently holds the map's state on the user's behalf.
    To do the equivalent in PL/SQL, the User's Guide suggests:
    "connect scott/tiger
    call sdo_mvclient.createmapviewerclient(
    'http://www.mycorp.com:8888/mapviewer/omserver') ;
    The preceding example creates, in the current session, a unique MapViewer client
    handle to the MapViewer service URL"
    Does "current session" refer to the HTTP-user-session? While I've used PL/SQL before, I've not used the PL/SQL Web Toolkit. Is the session handling implicit here (and invisible?) or should the sdo_mvclient be subsequently stored in the PL/SQL equivalent of a (J2EE) HttpSession object?
    YT

    Part of the answer will depend on how you plan to deploy the application. If you have a few, local clients you could go with the traditional client/server model. If you have a lot of clients and/or they are spread out over a relatively large area (like a campus setting), a web front-end will save you a lot of hassels down the road when it comes time to upgrade.
    Regardless of the the front end, I can tell you that I have been greatly impressed with the throughput you can get by moving most of the code to PL/SQL packages. A few years ago we reworked a VB/Oracle app by moving a lot of the code out of VB and into packages, leaving the client to essentially call procedures and format the output. We had more than a 3x performance increase on the same hardware and our network utilization decreased noticably.
    I am now in the process of replacing the client code with Java servlets/JSP, primarily because of the maintenance hassles I mentioned earlier. There are some limitations with an HTML page but most of these have been cosmetic so far.
    We are still relying heavily on PL/SQL packages. The servlet code basically gets a request, calls a package to get the data, then hands the results to a JSP page. The JSP then formats the output and sends it to the client. We are little more than halfway through the re-write, but it appears performance will increase again. Not as noticably as before, but I will take what I can get. As you have seen, once something is rolled out it always ends up getting used more than you anticipated. Better to over-engineer now than have to patch it once it is live.

  • Can we use different Databases (Oracle & SQL Server) in one report?

    Post Author: venki5star
    CA Forum: .NET
    Hi there.
    Can we use different databases (Oracle & SQL Server) in a same report?
    If possible how?
    Another question,
    Can we change the Provider Name at runtime of the given report. If so the above question is useless...
    Thanks in Advance.

    I tried this using Oracle Provider for OLEDB (the one that supplied by Oracle Client) and Crystal Reports 9. you can drag the column into designer but the image does not appear in preview.
    I guess it's because CR does not recognized it as image, and there are no information that the blob data is an image at all.

  • How to get multiple records using fn-bea:execute-sql()

    Hi,
    I created Proxy service(ALSB3.0) to get records from DB table. I have used Xquery function(fn-bea:execute-sql()). Using simple SQL query I got single record, but my table having multiple records. Please suggest how to get multiple records using fn-bea:execute-sql() and how to assign them in ALSB variable.

    Hi,
    Am facing the same issue stated above that I couldnt get all the records in the table that am querying in the Proxyservice.
    For example:
    fn-bea:execute-sql('EsbDataSource', 'student', 'select Name from StudentList' ) is the query that am using to fetch the records from the table called StudentList which contains more than one records like
    Id Name
    01 XXX
    02 YYY
    03 ZZZ
    I tried to assign the result of the above query in a variable and while trying to log the variable, I can see the below
    <student>
    <Name>XXX</Name>
    </student>
    I want to have all the records from my table in xml format but it's not coming up. I get the value only from the first row of my table.
    Please suggest.
    regards,
    Venkat

  • Using a custom PL/SQL to populate the primary key in a tabular form

  • (new?) performance problem using jDriver after a Sql Server 6.5 to 2000 conversion

    Hi,
    This is similar - yet different - to a few of the old postings about performance
    problems with using jdbc drivers against Sql Server 7 & 2000.
    Here's the situation:
    I am running a standalone java application on a Solaris box using BEA's jdbc driver
    to connect to a Sql Server database on another network. The application retrieves
    data from the database through joins on several tables for approximately 40,000
    unique ids. It then processes all of this data and produces a file. We tuned
    the app so that the execution time for a single run through the application was
    24 minutes running against Sql Server 6.5 with BEA's jdbc driver. After performing
    a DBMS conversion to upgrade it to Sql Server 2000 I switched the jDriver to the
    Sql Server 2000 version. I ran the app and got an alarming execution time of
    5hrs 32 min. After some research, I found the problem with unicode and nvarchar/varchar
    and set the "useVarChars" property to "true" on the driver. The execution time
    for a single run through the application is now 56 minutes.
    56 minutes compared to 5 1/2 hrs is an amazing improvement. However, it is still
    over twice the execution time that I was seeing against the 6.5 database. Theoretically,
    I should be able to switch out my jdbc driver and the DBMS conversion should be
    invisible to my application. That would also mean that I should be seeing the
    same execution times with both versions of the DBMS. Has anybody else seen a
    simlar situation? Are there any other settings or fixes that I can put into place
    to get my performance back down to what I was seeing with 6.5? I would rather
    not have to go through and perform another round of performance tuning after having
    already done this when the app was originally built.
    thanks,
    mike

    Joe,
    This was actually my next step. I replaced the BEA driver with
    the MS driver and let it run through with out making any
    configuration changes, just to see what happened. I got an
    execution time of about 7 1/2 hrs (which was shocking). So,
    (comparing apples to apples) while leaving the default unicode
    property on, BEA ran faster than MS, 5 1/2 hrs to 7 1/2 hrs.
    I then set the 'SendStringParametersAsUnicode' to 'false' on the
    MS driver and ran another test. This time the application
    executed in just over 24 minutes. The actual runtime was 24 min
    16 sec, which is still ever so slightly above the actual runtime
    against SS 6.5 which was 23 min 35 sec, but is twice as fast as the
    56 minutes that BEA's driver was giving me.
    I think that this is very interesting. I checked to make sure that
    there were no outside factors that may have been influencing the
    runtimes in either case, and there were none. Just to make sure,
    I ran each driver again and got the same results. It sounds like
    there are no known issues regarding this?
    We have people looking into things on the DBMS side and I'm still
    looking into things on my end, but so far none of us have found
    anything. We'd like to continue using BEA's driver for the
    support and the fact that we use Weblogic Server for all of our
    online applications, but this new data might mean that I have to
    switch drivers for this particular application.Thanks. No, there is no known issue, and if you put a packet sniffer
    between the client and DBMS, you will probably not see any appreciable
    difference in the content of the SQL sent be either driver. My suspicion is
    that it involves the historical backward compatibility built in to the DBMS.
    It must still handle several iterations of older applications, speaking obsolete
    versions of the DBMS protocol, and expecting different DBMS behavior!
    Our driver presents itself as a SQL7-level application, and may well be treated
    differently than a newer one. This may include different query processing.
    Because our driver is deprecated, it is unlikely that it will be changed in
    future. We will certainly support you using the MS driver, and if you look
    in the MS JDBC newsgroup, you'll see more answers from BEA folks than
    from MS people!

    The next test you should do, to isolate the issue, is to try another
    JDBC driver.
    MS provides a type-4 driver now, for free. If it is significantly faster,
    it would be
    interesting. However, it would still not isolate the problem, because
    we still would
    need to know what query plan is created by the DBMS, and why.

    PS: I can only tell you that our driver has not changed in it's semantic
    function.
    It essentially send SQL to the DBMS. It doesn't alter it.
