I have a table with the following structure and data:
batsman | runs | year
1 | 800 | 2012
1 | 950 | 2011
1 | 1050 | 2010
2 | 550 | 2012
2 | 650 | 2011
2 | 400 | 2010
3 | 900 | 2012
This data needs to be Selected through a sql query as:
batsman | 2012 | 2011 | 2010
1 | 800 | 950 | 1050
2 | 550 | 650 | 400
3 | 900 | - | -
I'm trying to do this through a stored proc. The assumption can be made that the number of columns (in terms of years) is fixed: 3.
Also note, there are no arithmetic operations necessary - all the numbers I need are already there, they just need to be represented column-wise.
There are several ways that you can convert the rows of data into columns.
In SQL Server you can use the PIVOT function:
select batsman, [2012], [2011], [2010]
from
(
select batsman, runs, year
from yourtable
) d
pivot
(
sum(runs)
for year in ([2012], [2011], [2010])
) piv;
Or you can use an aggregate function with a CASE
expression:
select batsman,
sum(case when year = 2012 then runs else 0 end) [2012],
sum(case when year = 2011 then runs else 0 end) [2011],
sum(case when year = 2010 then runs else 0 end) [2010]
from yourtable
group by batsman;
The other version will work great if you have a known number of columns. But if you are going to have an unknown number of year
values, then you will need to use dynamic SQL:
DECLARE @cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
@query AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
select @cols = STUFF((SELECT distinct ',' + QUOTENAME(year)
from yourtable
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,1,1,'')
set @query = 'SELECT batsman,' + @cols + '
from
(
select batsman, runs, year
from yourtable
) x
pivot
(
sum(runs)
for year in (' + @cols + ')
) p '
execute(@query)
Please try PIVOT:
declare @tbl as table(batsman int, runs int, yearr int)
insert into @tbl values
(1, 800, 2012),
(1, 950, 2011),
(1, 1050, 2010),
(2, 550, 2012),
(2, 650, 2011),
(2, 400, 2010),
(3, 900, 2012)
select * From @tbl
select *
from
(
select *
from @tbl
) d
pivot
(
max(runs)
for yearr in ([2012], [2011], [2010])
) piv;
You would need to use Pivot Tables as detailed here:

For example:
select * from batsman
pivot (runs for Year in ([2012], [2011], [2010])) as runsperyear
