Splitting/Pivot Data from a Date Range using SQL

Question

Hi I have a problem with regarding on split/pivot dates

Here is my query

select Name
     , Start
     , End 
  from Employees 
 where St         


        

Answer 1

First, create the table as -

USE `Test`;
CREATE  TABLE `test`.`Tbl_Sample_Data` (
  `Name` VARCHAR(50) NULL ,    
  `Start` DATETIME NULL ,
  `End` DATETIME NULL );

Insert rows using -

INSERT INTO `test`.`tbl_sample_data`
(`End`,
`Name`,
`Start`)
VALUES
(
'PutEndDateHere',
'PutNameHere',
'PutStartDateHere'
);

Here, dates should be in yyyy-MM-dd format, otherwise you get error 1292.

Use this query to get what you want.

SELECT `Name`,'Start' AS colName, `Start` AS value FROM test.tbl_sample_data
UNION ALL
SELECT `Name`,'End' AS colName, `End` AS value FROM test.tbl_sample_data
ORDER BY `Name` ASC

Note that column names whose name is the same as a keyword must be enclosed in backticks. Eg. Example Name. Otherwise, you get error.
