Pivoting in DB2

Question

I have to transpose my rows into columns from a DB2 table.This is how my table is structured..

ItemID    Item    Value
---------------------
1     Meeting            


        

Answer 1

It's not very pretty, but it should work. DB2 doesn't have a built-in PIVOT function, like SQL Server.

SELECT DISTINCT
     A.ItemID
    ,(SELECT value
      FROM table B
      WHERE B.ItemID = A.ItemID
        AND B.Item   = 'Meeting'
    ) AS Meeting
    ,(SELECT value
      FROM table B
      WHERE B.ItemID = A.ItemID
        AND B.Item   = 'Advise'
    ) AS Advise
    ,(SELECT value
      FROM table B
      WHERE B.ItemID = A.ItemID
        AND B.Item   = 'NoAdvise'
    ) AS NoAdvise
FROM table A
