Transpose Multiple Columns into One Row in Each Group
Problem description & analysis
We have a database table STAKEHOLDER that has data as follows:
CLASS |
NAME |
SID |
1 |
name1 |
001 |
1 |
name2 |
002 |
2 |
name3 |
003 |
2 |
name4 |
004 |
We are trying to group the table by CLASS and, for each group, combine all the other column values into one row. Below is the desired result:
1 name1 001 name2 002
2 name3 003 name4 004
Solution
We write the following SPL script p1.dfx within esProc:
A |
|
1 |
=connect("oracle") |
2 |
=A1.query@x("SELECT * FROM STAKEHOLDER") |
3 |
=A2.group(CLASS;~.(NAME/""/SID).concat(" ")).(#1/" "/#2) |
Explanation:
A1 Connect to database oracle.
A2 Return a table sequence made up of query results and auto-close the database connection when query is finished.
A3 Group A2’s table sequence by CLASS and join values of multiple columns into one row.
