  • I've a problem:-D. I need result same as above, but i can't write it in one SQL. Please help me.

    DECLARE @DATA TABLE

    (

    INT NOT NULL,

    FIELDA INT NOT NULL,

    FIELDB INT NOT NULL,

    FIELDC INT NOT NULL,

    FIELDD INT NOT NULL,

    FIELDE INT NOT NULL

    );

    INSERT INTO @DATA (,FIELDA,FIELDB,FIELDC,FIELDD,FIELDE)

    VALUES

    (1,1,2,3,4,5),

    (2,11,22,33,44,55),

    (3,111,222,333,444,555)

    RESULT

    KEY FIELDA FIELDB FIELDC FIELDD FIELDE

    1 1 2 3

    1 4 5

    2 11 22 33

    2 44 55

    3 111 222 333

    3 444 555

  • Something like this ?

    ;with cteRows

    as

    (

    select 1 as r

    union all

    select 2

    )

    Select ,

    case when r =1 then convert(char(10),Fielda) else '' end,

    case when r =1 then convert(char(10),Fieldb) else '' end,

    case when r =1 then convert(char(10),Fieldc) else '' end,

    case when r =2 then convert(char(10),Fieldd) else '' end,

    case when r =2 then convert(char(10),Fielde )else '' end

    from @data

    cross join cteRows

    order by ,r

    Why did it have to be written in "one SQL"?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
    "Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".

  • Could you use unpivot for this? I'm sure you could, if you were to pivot the data first. You don't need to, it's a very simple requirement:

    SELECT *

    FROM (

    SELECT , FIELDA, FIELDB, FIELDC, CAST(NULL AS INT) AS FIELDD, CAST(NULL AS INT) AS FIELDE

    FROM @DATA

    UNION ALL

    SELECT , CAST(NULL AS INT) AS FIELDA, CAST(NULL AS INT) AS FIELDB, FIELDC, FIELDD, FIELDE

    FROM @DATA

    ) d ORDER BY , FIELDA desc
