I need to convert the table from (A) into (B).
I am able to get it work by joining the same table multiple times and use Max operator to assign the fields, but is there any better way to achieve this as Max operator could cause performance issue on huge table.
Can this be done by using pivot and will it cause any performance issue on huge table?
Btw, ID in below example is only 1 of the fields as example, there are other fields that need to achieve the same thing.
(A)
Class ID
1 11
1 12
1 13
2 11
2 12
2 13
(B)
Class ID2 ID3 ID4
1 11 12 13
2 11
12 13
You can you PIVOT:
SELECT *
FROM
(SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE
) pivot ( MAX(id) FOR id IN ([11],[12],[13]) );
Assuming you need to go DYNAMIC
Declare #SQL varchar(max) = Stuff((Select Distinct ',' + QuoteName(concat('ID',1+Row_Number() over (Partition By Class Order By ID))) From YourTable Order by 1 For XML Path('')),1,1,'')
Select #SQL = '
Select [Class],' + #SQL + '
From (
Select [Class]
,ID
,Col = concat(''ID'',1+Row_Number() over (Partition By [Class] Order By [ID]))
From YourTable
) A
Pivot (max(ID) For [Col] in (' + #SQL + ') ) P'
Exec(#SQL);
Returns
Class ID2 ID3 ID4
1 11 12 13
2 11 12 13

How can I accomplish this with unpivot and pivot.
I've seen this question asked before and has a solution with case statement and union all
In SQL, how can I count the number of values in a column and then pivot it so the column becomes the row?
and here PIVOT/UNPIVOT multiple rows and columns but I have 20 rows and 24 columns and the query would become very long and I suspect inefficient. Does anyone know how I can do this with unpivot and pivot or is case and union all the only viable option?
Hour A B C D E ... Z
-----------------------------------------
0 4 2 3 0 6 2
1 3 5 7 1 8 7
2 2 6 1 1 4 3
3 2 2 0 3 0 2
4 3 9 6 2 2 8

Field 0 1 2 3 ...23

A 2 0 2 2 4
B 7 2 8 1 6
....
Z 6 7 7 3 8
This is what I've tried in terms of pivot but I didn't get far:
select B,[0],[1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18],[19],[20],[21],[22],[23] from CTE2
pivot(
sum(A)
for hour in ([0],[1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18],[19],[20],[21],[22],[23])) as pvt;
Just to clarify, the numbers in the table are just random numbers I've put to simulate data, they aren't transposed as they should be.
Well, I know you say you've solved it so this probably isn't necessary and you can feel free to use whatever answer you currently have, but here's an example of how you could approach this problem in general.
IF OBJECT_ID('tmpTable', 'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE tmpTable;
CREATE TABLE tmpTable (i INT, a INT, b INT, c INT, d INT);
INSERT tmpTable VALUES (1,69,69,10,1)
, (2,5,0,2,3)
, (3,5,5,5,5)
, (4,1,2,3,4);
DECLARE #applycols NVARCHAR(MAX);
SELECT #applycols = STUFF(
(SELECT ',(' + QUOTENAME(COLUMN_NAME) + ', ''' + COLUMN_NAME + ''')'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'tmpTable'
AND COLUMN_NAME <> 'i'
FOR XML PATH ('')),1,1,'');
DECLARE #aggcols NVARCHAR(MAX) = '';
SELECT #aggcols += ', MAX(CASE WHEN i = ' + CAST(i AS NVARCHAR(255)) + ' THEN piv.colval END) ' + QUOTENAME(CAST(i AS NVARCHAR(255)))
FROM tmpTable;
DECLARE #SQL NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT piv.col' + #aggcols + '
FROM tmpTable
CROSS APPLY (VALUES ' + #applycols + ') piv(colval, col)
GROUP BY piv.col;';
EXEC(#SQL);
DROP TABLE tmpTable;
Essentially, it's using dynamic SQL to determine all the columns/values and then using a simple CROSS APPLY / MAX(CASE... to get all the values.
Is it possible in SQL Server to "group" a result from a single query based on data in a specific column as if I ran multiple select queries?
I'm trying to find a lazy way out to extract data such as the below:
StoreId | ClientId
1 | 4
1 | 5
2 | 5
2 | 6
2 | 7
3 | 8
whereby every store ID result is grouped into its own table.
Whilst I can create a select statement for every store id to have it grouped, the list is too long to do so.
I can't imagine that this is really helpful but you can use dynamic sql to do something like this. I can't say I would recommend this approach for generating excel documents but whatever.
create table #Something
(
StoreID int
, ClientID int
)
insert #Something
select 1, 4 union all
select 1, 5 union all
select 2, 5 union all
select 2, 6 union all
select 2, 7
declare #sql nvarchar(max) = ''
select #sql = #sql + 'select StoreID, ClientID from #Something where StoreID = ' + CAST(StoreID as varchar(4)) + ';'
from #Something
group by StoreID
select #sql
exec sp_executesql #sql
drop table #Something
The system we are using allows a data entry form to be created from multiple user defined fields to satisfy information required on a particular group of different "ORDES". The fields are then stored in a database as such from what is entered:
GUID OrderGUID UserDataCode Value
1 100 OrderName Breakfast
2 100 OrderDesc Food you eat before Lunch
3 100 CerealYN Y
4 100 ToastYN Y
5 100 ToastDesc White Bread
6 100 PaperYN Y
7 100 PaperDesc The Newsroom
8 101 OrderName Lunch
9 101 OrderDesc Food you eat before Dinner
10 101 CerealYN N
11 101 ToastYN Y
12 101 ToastDesc Brown Bread
13 101 PaperYN Y
14 101 PaperDesc The MiddayNews
(etc)
(in fact this is an Enterprise Hospital software but I have used simpler examples here)
I would like using SQL to return this table PIVOTed like below
OrderGUID OrderName OrderDESC CerealYN ToastYN ToastDesc ....
101 Breakfast Food you.. Y Y White Bread ....
102 Lunch Food you.. N Y Brown Bread ....
I wrote the following SQL based on examples found on the net:
DECLARE #DynamicPivotQuery AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #ColumnName AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
--Get distinct values of the PIVOT Column
SELECT #ColumnName= ISNULL(#ColumnName + ',','')
+ QUOTENAME([UserDataCode])
FROM (
SELECT
[UserDataCode]
FROM
[XXX].[dbo].[CV3OrderUserData]
WHERE OrderGUID = 3000680
) AS Codes;
--Prepare the PIVOT query using the dynamic
SET #DynamicPivotQuery = N'SELECT OrderGUID, ' + #ColumnName + '
FROM
[XXX].[dbo].[CV3OrderUserData]
PIVOT(Max(Value)
FOR UserDataCode IN (' + #ColumnName + ')) AS PVTTable'
--Execute the Dynamic Pivot Query
--SELECT #DynamicPivotQuery
EXEC sp_executesql #DynamicPivotQuery
However while it does the pivot as requested.. and puts the values in the correct new "dynamic" columns, if returns a row for each OrderGUID + Value,
ie:
OrderGUID OrderName OrderDesc CerealYN ToastYN
100 Breakfast null null null ...
100 null Food you.. null null ...
101 null null Y null ...
etc.etc
What am i doing wrong :( ?
The problem in your query is the pivot source query has GUID column which makes the pivot operator to consider GUID column.
To get the expected output you need to remove GUID column from the pivot source query.
Here is a static version you can convert it to dynamic version as you already did.
select * from
(
SELECT OrderGUID,UserDataCode,Value
FROM
tst) A
PIVOT(Max(Value)
FOR UserDataCode IN ([OrderName],[OrderDesc],
[CerealYN],[ToastYN],
[ToastDesc],[PaperYN],
[PaperDesc])) AS PVTTable

I have below mentioned table :

I am creating the pivot using the below mentioned query:
declare #var nvarchar(max)
declare #sql nvarchar(max)
set #var = stuff((select distinct ',' + name from temp
for xml path('')),1,1,'') -- **this is giving distinct column list but the order of columns get changed..**
set #sql = 'select * from temp
pivot(max(value) for name in (' + #var + ')) as pvt'
exec sp_executesql #sql
Is there a way to keep the order of the columns unchanged? I want the order of columns listed in #var to be same as in the table.
Add a GROUP BY and an ORDER BY clause (to replace the DISTINCT) where you build your column list as follows:
set #var = stuff((select ',' + min(name) from temp GROUP BY drn ORDER BY drn
for xml path('')),1,1,'')
And don't forget the the necessary aggregation (I've used MIN()). Thanks #Ionic.
This is because you're using a DISTINCT in your SELECT query. If you look at the execution plan, you can see DISTINCT SORT operation. This sorts your result based on the DISTINCT columns you specify, in this case it's Name:
To retain the order, you can try this:
set #var = stuff((
select ',' + name
from(
select
name,
drn,
rn = row_number() over(partition by name order by drn)
from temp
)t
where rn = 1
order by drn
for xml path('')),
1,1,'')
I have a table that for some reason has hardcoded values like so:
Row ID QtyC1 QtyC2 QtyC3 QtyC4 QtyN1 QtyN2 QtyN3 QtyN4
100 10 5 8 9 11 12 5 6
101 9 11 12 5 6 10 4 9
The table has 35 columns and around 12k records (meaning around 500k values) and is being added to and amended constantly.
I am trying to transpose this in a view into:
Row ID Year Period Val
100 C 1 10
100 C 2 5
100 C 3 8
100 C 4 9
100 N 1 11
100 N 2 12
100 N 3 5
100 N 4 6
So far I have managed to split it out into single values using this query:
SELECT Row ID, YP, Val
FROM (SELECT Row ID
, QtyC1 AS C1
, QtyC2 AS C2
, QtyC3 AS C3
, QtyC4 AS C4
, QtyN1 AS N1
, QtyN2 AS N2
, QtyN3 AS N3
, QtyN4 AS N4
FROM MyTable
) SUB
UNPIVOT (Val FOR YP IN (C1,C2,C3,C4,N1,N2,N3,N4)) AS PVT
This is getting me a single identifying value (eg C1) but how can I split it so I have a numeric period and a single character for the year (1 and C)?
I can see it might be possible just splitting up the string into two parts but I was hoping for a cleaner way if possible.
You can easily split the YP string using LEFT(), RIGHT(), SUBSTRING(), etc. My suggestion would be how you are handling your UNPIVOT. It looks like you have a lot of columns to UNPIVOT so my suggestion might be to implement dynamic SQL to perform this query. You would do it this way:
declare #colsUnpivot varchar(max),
#query AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
#cols varchar(max)
select #colsUnpivot = stuff((select ','
+quotename(replace(C.name, 'Qty', ''))
from sys.columns as C
where C.object_id = object_id('yourtable') and
C.name like 'Qty%'
for xml path('')), 1, 1, '')
select #cols = stuff((select ','
+quotename(C.name) + ' as ' + replace(C.name, 'Qty', '')
from sys.columns as C
where C.object_id = object_id('yourtable') and
C.name like 'Qty%'
for xml path('')), 1, 1, '')
set #query
= 'select rowid,
left(YP, 1) YP,
cast(right(YP, len(YP) - 1) as int) period,
Val
from
(
select rowid, ' + #cols + '
from yourtable
) x1
unpivot
(
val for YP IN (' + #colsUnpivot + ')
) u'
exec(#query)
see SQL Fiddle with Demo
Why would this seem unclean?
SELECT Row ID, left(YP, 1) as year, cast(right(yp, 1) as int) as period, Val
FROM (SELECT Row ID
, QtyC1 AS C1
, QtyC2 AS C2
, QtyC3 AS C3
, QtyC4 AS C4
, QtyN1 AS N1
, QtyN2 AS N2
, QtyN3 AS N3
, QtyN4 AS N4
FROM MyTable
) SUB
UNPIVOT (Val FOR YP IN (C1,C2,C3,C4,N1,N2,N3,N4)) AS PVT
