Accomplish pivot in teradata sql

Question

Say I have a query that returns values like this:

id    type     value
aaa   1a        10
aaa   1b        20
aaa   1c        7
bbb   2a        10
bbb   1a            


        

Answer 1

Using PIVOT function in Teradata 16 it could look like this (assuming your types are in a table called mytypetable):

SELECT 
  *
FROM 
  mytable PIVOT (SUM("value") FOR "type" IN (SELECT "Type" FROM mytypetable)) AS Temp_pivot
ORDER BY 
  id

One drawback is that you cannot decide on the order of the columns though.
