I've been tasked with coming up with a means of translating the following data:
date category amount
1/1/2012 ABC 1000.00
2/1/2012 DEF 500.00
2/1/2012 GHI 800.00
2/10/2012 DEF 700.00
3/1/2012 ABC 1100.00
into the following:
date ABC DEF GHI
1/1/2012 1000.00
2/1/2012 500.00
2/1/2012 800.00
2/10/2012 700.00
3/1/2012 1100.00
The blank spots can be NULLs or blanks, either is fine, and the categories would need to be dynamic. Another possible caveat to this is that we'll be running the query in a limited capacity, which means temp tables are out. I've tried to research and have landed on PIVOT but as I've never used that before I really don't understand it, despite my best efforts to figure it out. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Dynamic SQL PIVOT:
create table temp
(
date datetime,
category varchar(3),
amount money
)
insert into temp values ('1/1/2012', 'ABC', 1000.00)
insert into temp values ('2/1/2012', 'DEF', 500.00)
insert into temp values ('2/1/2012', 'GHI', 800.00)
insert into temp values ('2/10/2012', 'DEF', 700.00)
insert into temp values ('3/1/2012', 'ABC', 1100.00)
DECLARE #cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
#query AS NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET #cols = STUFF((SELECT distinct ',' + QUOTENAME(c.category)
FROM temp c
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,1,1,'')
set #query = 'SELECT date, ' + #cols + ' from
(
select date
, amount
, category
from temp
) x
pivot
(
max(amount)
for category in (' + #cols + ')
) p '
execute(#query)
drop table temp
Results:
Date ABC DEF GHI
2012-01-01 00:00:00.000 1000.00 NULL NULL
2012-02-01 00:00:00.000 NULL 500.00 800.00

Different approach for creating columns string
create table #temp
(

category varchar(3),
amount money
)
insert into #temp values ('1/1/2012', 'ABC', 1000.00)
insert into #temp values ('2/1/2012', 'DEF', 500.00)
insert into #temp values ('2/1/2012', 'GHI', 800.00)
insert into #temp values ('2/10/2012', 'DEF', 700.00)
insert into #temp values ('3/1/2012', 'ABC', 1100.00)
DECLARE #cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX)='';
DECLARE #query AS NVARCHAR(MAX)='';
SELECT #cols = #cols + QUOTENAME(category) + ',' FROM (select distinct category from #temp ) as tmp
select #cols = substring(#cols, 0, len(#cols)) --trim "," at end
set #query =
'SELECT * from
(
select date, amount, category from #temp
) src
pivot
(
max(amount) for category in (' + #cols + ')
) piv'
execute(#query)
drop table #temp
Result
date ABC DEF GHI
2012-01-01 00:00:00.000 1000.00 NULL NULL
2012-02-01 00:00:00.000 NULL 500.00 800.00
2012-02-10 00:00:00.000 NULL 700.00 NULL
2012-03-01 00:00:00.000 1100.00 NULL NULL
I know this question is older but I was looking thru the answers and thought that I might be able to expand on the "dynamic" portion of the problem and possibly help someone out.
First and foremost I built this solution to solve a problem a couple of coworkers were having with inconstant and large data sets needing to be pivoted quickly.
This solution requires the creation of a stored procedure so if that is out of the question for your needs please stop reading now.
This procedure is going to take in the key variables of a pivot statement to dynamically create pivot statements for varying tables, column names and aggregates. The Static column is used as the group by / identity column for the pivot(this can be stripped out of the code if not necessary but is pretty common in pivot statements and was necessary to solve the original issue), the pivot column is where the end resultant column names will be generated from, and the value column is what the aggregate will be applied to. The Table parameter is the name of the table including the schema (schema.tablename) this portion of the code could use some love because it is not as clean as I would like it to be. It worked for me because my usage was not publicly facing and sql injection was not a concern. The Aggregate parameter will accept any standard sql aggregate 'AVG', 'SUM', 'MAX' etc. The code also defaults to MAX as an aggregate this is not necessary but the audience this was originally built for did not understand pivots and were typically using max as an aggregate.
Lets start with the code to create the stored procedure. This code should work in all versions of SSMS 2005 and above but I have not tested it in 2005 or 2016 but I can not see why it would not work.
create PROCEDURE [dbo].[USP_DYNAMIC_PIVOT]
(
#STATIC_COLUMN VARCHAR(255),
#PIVOT_COLUMN VARCHAR(255),
#VALUE_COLUMN VARCHAR(255),
#TABLE VARCHAR(255),
#AGGREGATE VARCHAR(20) = null
)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
declare #AVAIABLE_TO_PIVOT NVARCHAR(MAX),
#SQLSTRING NVARCHAR(MAX),
#PIVOT_SQL_STRING NVARCHAR(MAX),
#TEMPVARCOLUMNS NVARCHAR(MAX),
#TABLESQL NVARCHAR(MAX)
if isnull(#AGGREGATE,'') = ''
begin
SET #AGGREGATE = 'MAX'
end
SET #PIVOT_SQL_STRING = 'SELECT top 1 STUFF((SELECT distinct '', '' + CAST(''[''+CONVERT(VARCHAR,'+ #PIVOT_COLUMN+')+'']'' AS VARCHAR(50)) [text()]
FROM '+#TABLE+'
WHERE ISNULL('+#PIVOT_COLUMN+','''') <> ''''
FOR XML PATH(''''), TYPE)
.value(''.'',''NVARCHAR(MAX)''),1,2,'' '') as PIVOT_VALUES
from '+#TABLE+' ma
ORDER BY ' + #PIVOT_COLUMN + ''
declare #TAB AS TABLE(COL NVARCHAR(MAX) )
INSERT INTO #TAB EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL #PIVOT_SQL_STRING, #AVAIABLE_TO_PIVOT
SET #AVAIABLE_TO_PIVOT = (SELECT * FROM #TAB)
SET #TEMPVARCOLUMNS = (SELECT replace(#AVAIABLE_TO_PIVOT,',',' nvarchar(255) null,') + ' nvarchar(255) null')
SET #SQLSTRING = 'DECLARE #RETURN_TABLE TABLE ('+#STATIC_COLUMN+' NVARCHAR(255) NULL,'+#TEMPVARCOLUMNS+')
INSERT INTO #RETURN_TABLE('+#STATIC_COLUMN+','+#AVAIABLE_TO_PIVOT+')
select * from (
SELECT ' + #STATIC_COLUMN + ' , ' + #PIVOT_COLUMN + ', ' + #VALUE_COLUMN + ' FROM '+#TABLE+' ) a
PIVOT
(
'+#AGGREGATE+'('+#VALUE_COLUMN+')
FOR '+#PIVOT_COLUMN+' IN ('+#AVAIABLE_TO_PIVOT+')
) piv
SELECT * FROM #RETURN_TABLE'
EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL #SQLSTRING
END
Next we will get our data ready for the example. I have taken the data example from the accepted answer with the addition of a couple of data elements to use in this proof of concept to show the varied outputs of the aggregate change.
create table temp
(
date datetime,
category varchar(3),
amount money
)
insert into temp values ('1/1/2012', 'ABC', 1000.00)
insert into temp values ('1/1/2012', 'ABC', 2000.00) -- added
insert into temp values ('2/1/2012', 'DEF', 500.00)
insert into temp values ('2/1/2012', 'DEF', 1500.00) -- added
insert into temp values ('2/1/2012', 'GHI', 800.00)
insert into temp values ('2/10/2012', 'DEF', 700.00)
insert into temp values ('2/10/2012', 'DEF', 800.00) -- addded
insert into temp values ('3/1/2012', 'ABC', 1100.00)
The following examples show the varied execution statements showing the varied aggregates as a simple example. I did not opt to change the static, pivot, and value columns to keep the example simple. You should be able to just copy and paste the code to start messing with it yourself
exec [dbo].[USP_DYNAMIC_PIVOT] 'date','category','amount','dbo.temp','sum'
exec [dbo].[USP_DYNAMIC_PIVOT] 'date','category','amount','dbo.temp','max'
exec [dbo].[USP_DYNAMIC_PIVOT] 'date','category','amount','dbo.temp','avg'
exec [dbo].[USP_DYNAMIC_PIVOT] 'date','category','amount','dbo.temp','min'
This execution returns the following data sets respectively.
Updated version for SQL Server 2017 using STRING_AGG function to construct the pivot column list:
create table temp
(
date datetime,
category varchar(3),
amount money
);
insert into temp values ('20120101', 'ABC', 1000.00);
insert into temp values ('20120201', 'DEF', 500.00);
insert into temp values ('20120201', 'GHI', 800.00);
insert into temp values ('20120210', 'DEF', 700.00);
insert into temp values ('20120301', 'ABC', 1100.00);
DECLARE #cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
#query AS NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET #cols = (SELECT STRING_AGG(category,',') FROM (SELECT DISTINCT category FROM temp WHERE category IS NOT NULL)t);
set #query = 'SELECT date, ' + #cols + ' from
(
select date
, amount
, category
from temp
) x
pivot
(
max(amount)
for category in (' + #cols + ')
) p ';
execute(#query);
drop table temp;
There's my solution cleaning up the unnecesary null values
DECLARE #cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
#maxcols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
#query AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
select #cols = STUFF((SELECT ',' + QUOTENAME(CodigoFormaPago)
from PO_FormasPago
order by CodigoFormaPago
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,1,1,'')
select #maxcols = STUFF((SELECT ',MAX(' + QUOTENAME(CodigoFormaPago) + ') as ' + QUOTENAME(CodigoFormaPago)
from PO_FormasPago
order by CodigoFormaPago
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,1,1,'')
set #query = 'SELECT CodigoProducto, DenominacionProducto, ' + #maxcols + '
FROM
(
SELECT
CodigoProducto, DenominacionProducto,
' + #cols + ' from
(
SELECT
p.CodigoProducto as CodigoProducto,
p.DenominacionProducto as DenominacionProducto,
fpp.CantidadCuotas as CantidadCuotas,
fpp.IdFormaPago as IdFormaPago,
fp.CodigoFormaPago as CodigoFormaPago
FROM
PR_Producto p
LEFT JOIN PR_FormasPagoProducto fpp
ON fpp.IdProducto = p.IdProducto
LEFT JOIN PO_FormasPago fp
ON fpp.IdFormaPago = fp.IdFormaPago
) xp
pivot
(
MAX(CantidadCuotas)
for CodigoFormaPago in (' + #cols + ')
) p
) xx
GROUP BY CodigoProducto, DenominacionProducto'
t #query;
execute(#query);
The below code provides the results which replaces NULL to zero in the output.
Table creation and data insertion:
create table test_table
(
date nvarchar(10),
category char(3),
amount money
)
insert into test_table values ('1/1/2012','ABC',1000.00)
insert into test_table values ('2/1/2012','DEF',500.00)
insert into test_table values ('2/1/2012','GHI',800.00)
insert into test_table values ('2/10/2012','DEF',700.00)
insert into test_table values ('3/1/2012','ABC',1100.00)
Query to generate the exact results which also replaces NULL with zeros:
DECLARE #DynamicPivotQuery AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
#PivotColumnNames AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
#PivotSelectColumnNames AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
--Get distinct values of the PIVOT Column
SELECT #PivotColumnNames= ISNULL(#PivotColumnNames + ',','')
+ QUOTENAME(category)
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT category FROM test_table) AS cat
--Get distinct values of the PIVOT Column with isnull
SELECT #PivotSelectColumnNames
= ISNULL(#PivotSelectColumnNames + ',','')
+ 'ISNULL(' + QUOTENAME(category) + ', 0) AS '
+ QUOTENAME(category)
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT category FROM test_table) AS cat
--Prepare the PIVOT query using the dynamic
SET #DynamicPivotQuery =
N'SELECT date, ' + #PivotSelectColumnNames + '
FROM test_table
pivot(sum(amount) for category in (' + #PivotColumnNames + ')) as pvt';
--Execute the Dynamic Pivot Query
EXEC sp_executesql #DynamicPivotQuery

I'm moving from SQL Server to Postgresql. In SQL Server I have a code like this:
Declare #usr int = (select id from users where name = 'root');
Select * from info1 where usr = #usr;
Select * from info2 where usr = #usr;
Select * from info3 where usr = #usr;
I want to write such a code in Postgres. I found no local variables in Postgresql. I try this way:
create temporary table _usr on commit drop as
select id from users where name = 'root';
select * from info1 where usr = (select id from _usr);
select * from info2 where usr = (select id from _usr);
select * from info3 where usr = (select id from _usr);
The question is: Is where an any other way to save a local variables other than a temporary tables? May be I missing some type of objects in Postgresql?
PS. Data structure for this example:
create table users
(
id int not null,
name varchar(100)
);
create table info1
(
usr int not null,
i1a text,
i1b text
);
create table info2
(
usr int not null,
i2a text,
i2b text,
i2c text
);
create table info3
(
usr int not null,
i3a text,
i2b decimal(10),
i2c decimal(10),
i2d decimal(10)
);
insert into users values (1, 'root'), (2, 'admin');
insert into info1 values (1, 'one', 'first'), (1, 'two', 'second');
insert into info2 values (1, '1', '11', 't111'), (1, '2', '22', '222');
insert into info3 values (1, '1', 1, 10, 100), (1, '2', 2, 20, 200);
insert into info3 values (2, '3', 3, 30, 300);
UPDATE. The way with anonymous code block seems to be much uglier:
do $$
declare _usr int;
begin
_usr = (select id from users where name = 'root');
create temporary table _info1 on commit drop as
select * from info1 where usr = _usr;
create temporary table _info2 on commit drop as
select * from info2 where usr = _usr;
create temporary table _info3 on commit drop as
select * from info3 where usr = _usr;
end
$$;
select * from _info1;
select * from _info2;
select * from _info3;
There are no variables in SQL in PostgreSQL.
I think the best and simplest solution would be to repeat the (cheap) subquery:
SELECT info1.+
FROM info1
JOIN users ON users.name = info1.usr
WHERE users.name = 'root';
SELECT info2.+
FROM info2
JOIN users ON users.name = info2.usr
WHERE users.name = 'root';
SELECT info3.+
FROM info3
JOIN users ON users.name = info3.usr
WHERE users.name = 'root';
If the three tables have the same structure, you could UNION the queries and use a CTE:
WITH u AS (
SELECT id FROM users WHERE name = 'root'
)
SELECT info1.*
FROM info1
JOIN u ON u.id = info1.usr
UNION ALL
SELECT info2.*
FROM info2
JOIN u ON u.id = info2.usr
UNION ALL
SELECT info3.*
FROM info3
JOIN u ON u.id = info3.usr;
I have two tables "main" and "moved". "main" table has records from where I move 3 rows sequentially to "moved" table by executing a stored procedure. So every time I execute the stored procedure it should check to see the next set of 3 rows are sequentially read from "main" table from the row of last move happened and inserted into "moved" table.
select rowid from #main
rowid
-----------------------
1
2
3
4
5
Now when I execute the query, it should take the 3 rows from "main" table and insert into "moved" table. Say if I run the query 5 times, this is how I expect the "moved" table to contain each time I run it.
1,2,3 --"moved" table has these rows 1st time when I run the query
4,5,1 --"moved" table has these rows 2nd time when I run the query
2,3,4 --"moved" table has these rows 3rd time when I run the query
5,1,2 --"moved" table has these rows 4th time when I run the query
3,4,5 --"moved" table has these rows 5th time when I run the query
1,2,3 --"moved" table has these rows 6th time when I run the query
...so the sequential read continues. Read sequentially from next row where it ended from last run.
I asked this already, but the answer works only partially. It doesn't work when the values in the "main" table grows or not in order.
Thanks in advance for your help.
The following example may give you a starting point. Note that there must be an explicit order provided for the values that you want to insert. A table has no natural order and "sequential" is meaningless.
-- Sample data.
declare #Template as Table ( TemplateValue VarChar(10), TemplateRank Int );
-- NB: TemplateRank values are assumed to start at zero and be dense.
insert into #Template ( TemplateValue, TemplateRank ) values
( 'one', 0 ), ( 'two', 1 ), ( 'three', 2 ), ( 'four', 3 );
declare #NumberOfTemplateValues Int = ( select Max( TemplateRank ) from #Template ) + 1;
select * from #Template;
declare #AccumulatedStuff as Table ( Id Int Identity, Value VarChar(10) );
declare #GroupSize as Int = 5;
-- Add a block of GroupSize rows to the AccumulatedStuff .
declare #LastValue as VarChar(10) = ( select top 1 Value from #AccumulatedStuff order by Id desc );
declare #LastRank as Int = ( select TemplateRank from #Template where TemplateValue = #LastValue );
select #LastValue as LastValue, #LastRank as LastRank;

-- Repeat.
