Oracle SQL pivot query
2 answers
I have a table in this form (this is just the partial view, the table contains more than 100 columns).
LOAN NUMBER DOCUMENT_TYPE DOCUMENT_ID
992452533663 Voters ID XPD0355636
992452533663 Pan card CHXPS5522D
992452533663 Drivers licence DL-0420110141769
For a single loan number, I have three kinds of documents as proof. I want these details to be converted into columns and take the following shape:
LOAN NUMBER VOTERS_ID PAN_CARD DRIVERS LICENCE
992452533663 XPD0355636 CHXPS5522D DL-0420110141769
How to go about this?
If you are using Oracle 10g, you can use the DECODE
function to pivot the rows into columns:
CREATE TABLE doc_tab (
loan_number VARCHAR2(20),
document_type VARCHAR2(20),
document_id VARCHAR2(20)
);
INSERT INTO doc_tab VALUES('992452533663', 'Voters ID', 'XPD0355636');
INSERT INTO doc_tab VALUES('992452533663', 'Pan card', 'CHXPS5522D');
INSERT INTO doc_tab VALUES('992452533663', 'Drivers licence', 'DL-0420110141769');
COMMIT;
SELECT
loan_number,
MAX(DECODE(document_type, 'Voters ID', document_id)) AS voters_id,
MAX(DECODE(document_type, 'Pan card', document_id)) AS pan_card,
MAX(DECODE(document_type, 'Drivers licence', document_id)) AS drivers_licence
FROM
doc_tab
GROUP BY loan_number
ORDER BY loan_number;
Output:
LOAN_NUMBER VOTERS_ID PAN_CARD DRIVERS_LICENCE

You can achieve the same using Oracle PIVOT
clause, introduced in 11g:
SELECT *
FROM doc_tab
PIVOT (
MAX(document_id) FOR document_type IN ('Voters ID','Pan card','Drivers licence')
);

You can do it with a pivot
query, like this:
select * from (
select LOAN_NUMBER, DOCUMENT_TYPE, DOCUMENT_ID
from my_table t
)
pivot
(
MIN(DOCUMENT_ID)
for DOCUMENT_TYPE in ('Voters ID','Pan card','Drivers licence')
)
Here is a demo on sqlfiddle.com.
select * FROM doc_tab
PIVOT
(
Min(document_id)
FOR document_type IN ('Voters ID','Pan card','Drivers licence')
)
outputs as this
