Der er flere måder, hvorpå du kan transformere dataene. Nogle bruger en aggregeret funktion, og andre gør ikke. Men selvom du pivoterer en streng, kan du stadig anvende et aggregat.
Aggregér med CASE:
select name,
max(case when category = 'A' then 'X' else '' end) CategoryA,
max(case when category = 'B' then 'X' else '' end) CategoryB,
max(case when category = 'C' then 'X' else '' end) CategoryC,
max(case when category = 'D' then 'X' else '' end) CategoryD
from yourtable
group by name
Statisk pivot:
Du kan stadig bruge PIVOT
funktion til at transformere dataene, selvom værdierne er strenge. Hvis du har et kendt antal kategorier, kan du hardkode forespørgslen:
select name,
coalesce(A, '') CategoryA,
coalesce(B, '') CategoryB,
coalesce(C, '') CategoryC,
coalesce(C, '') CategoryD
from
(
select name, category, 'X' flag
from yourtable
) d
pivot
(
max(flag)
for category in (A, B, C, D)
) piv

Dynamisk pivot:
Hvis du har et ukendt antal kategorier, så kan du bruge dynamisk SQL:
DECLARE @cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
@colsNull AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
@query AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
select @cols = STUFF((SELECT ',' + QUOTENAME(category)
from yourtable
group by category
order by category
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,1,1,'')
select @colsNull = STUFF((SELECT ', coalesce(' + QUOTENAME(category)+', '''') as '+QUOTENAME('Category'+category)
from yourtable
group by category
order by category
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,1,1,'')
set @query = 'SELECT name, ' + @colsNull + '
from
(
select name, category, ''X'' flag
from yourtable
) x
pivot
(
max(flag)
for category in (' + @cols + ')
) p '
execute(@query)

select c1.name,
case when c1.category is not null then 'X' else '' end as CategoryA,
case when c2.category is not null then 'X' else '' end as CategoryB,
case when c3.category is not null then 'X' else '' end as CategoryC,
case when c4.category is not null then 'X' else '' end as CategoryD
from yourtable c1
left join yourtable c2
on c1.name = c2.name
and c2.category = 'B'
left join yourtable c3
on c1.name = c3.name
and c3.category = 'C'
left join yourtable c4
on c1.name = c4.name
and c4.category = 'D'
where c1.category = 'A'
Alle forespørgsler vil give resultatet:
| NAME | CATEGORYA | CATEGORYB | CATEGORYC | CATEGORYD |
