unpivot

I have seen posts which would fetch you pivot results but not unpivot, Need to know if there is any clean way to achieve ? If not the any workaround would do as well ? Execute this to see unpivot results in Management Studio CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Payment]( [PaymentId] [int] NOT NULL, [EmployeeId] [int] NOT NULL, [RegularHours] [decimal](18, 0) NULL, [OvertimeHOurs] [decimal](18, 0) NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] go insert into payment values (1, 1, 40, 10) insert into payment values (1, 2, 20, 0) go select * from payment select * from payment unpivot ([hours] for [paytype] in ([RegularHours],

This question already has an answer here: Convert matrix to 3-column table ('reverse pivot', 'unpivot', 'flatten', 'normalize') 3 answers I have a table which records revenue for each product, split into type of revenue: price, fees, tax etc. To analyze the data I'd like to build a PivotTable to show the revenue breakdown, e.g.: So to build this PivotTable I need to somehow create an intermediate table of the following format so the PivotTable can be used: My question is, how do I create a PivotTable from the original table automatically without manually constructing the second table?

I'd like to convert single rows into multiple rows in PostgreSQL, where some of the columns are removed. Here's an example of the current output: name | st | ot | dt | -----|----|----|----| Fred | 8 | 2 | 3 | Jane | 8 | 1 | 0 | Samm | 8 | 0 | 6 | Alex | 8 | 0 | 0 | Using the following query: SELECT name, st, ot, dt FROM times; And here's what I want: name | t | val | -----|----|-----| Fred | st | 8 | Fred | ot | 2 | Fred | dt | 3 | Jane | st | 8 | Jane | ot | 1 | Samm | st | 8 | Samm | dt | 6 | Alex | st | 8 | How can I modify the query to get the above desired output? SELECT times.name, x.t,

I have a sql table with current value and previous value. Id Value1 PValue1 Value2 PValue2 1 A A V V1 2 B B1 W W1 3 C C1 X X I want to compare them and display in a the following table if the value has changes. Id Column Value Pvalue 1 Value2 V V1 2 Value1 B B1 2 Value2 W W1 3 Value1 C C1 Is it possible in SQL 2008 without looping each column? You can use a CROSS APPLY to unpivot the data: SELECT t.id, x.Col, x.Value, x.PValue FROM YourTable t CROSS APPLY ( VALUES ('Value1', t.Value1, t.PValue1), ('Value2', t.Value2, t.PValue2) ) x (Col, Value, PValue) where x.Value <> x.PValue; See SQL Fiddle

Today I was asked by my colleague to transform data from a vertical staging table into a horizontal table. I mean transform rows to column. I used PIVOT and resolved it. But got into situation where I am getting trouble to move data if the data field repeats itself. Here is the test data that I am working on: CREATE TABLE STAGING ( ENTITYID INT, PROPERTYNAME VARCHAR(25), PROPERTYVALUE VARCHAR(25) ) INSERT INTO STAGING VALUES (1, 'NAME', 'DONNA') INSERT INTO STAGING VALUES (1, 'SPOUSE', 'HENRY') INSERT INTO STAGING VALUES (1, 'CHILD', 'JACK') INSERT INTO STAGING VALUES (2, 'CHILD', 'KAYALA') I

I am using SQL server 2008 and I am trying to unpivot the data. Here is the SQL code that I am using, CREATE TABLE #pvt1 (VendorID int, Sa int, Emp1 int,Sa1 int,Emp2 int) GO INSERT INTO #pvt1 VALUES (1,2,4,3,9); GO --Unpivot the table. SELECT distinct VendorID,Orders,Orders1 FROM (SELECT VendorID, Emp1, Sa,Emp2,Sa1 FROM #pvt1 ) p UNPIVOT (Orders FOR Emp IN (Emp1,Emp2) )AS unpvt UNPIVOT (Orders1 FOR Emp1 IN (Sa,Sa1) )AS unpvt1; GO And Here is the result of the above code. VendorID Orders Orders1 1 4 2 1 4 3 1 9 2 1 9 3 But I want my Output to be the way indicated below VendorID Orders Orders1 1

UNPIVOT will not return NULLs, but I need them in a comparison query. I am trying to avoid using ISNULL the following example (Because in the real sql there are over 100 fields.: Select ID, theValue, column_name From (select ID, ISNULL(CAST([TheColumnToCompare] AS VarChar(1000)), '') as TheColumnToCompare from MyView where The_Date = '04/30/2009' ) MA UNPIVOT (theValue FOR column_name IN ([TheColumnToCompare]) ) AS unpvt Any alternatives? It's a real pain. You have to switch them out before the UNPIVOT , because there is no row produced for ISNULL() to operate on - code generation is your
