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.
