How to merge two rows into one row in sql?
This type of transformation is known as a pivot. You did not specify what database you are using but you can use an aggregate function with a CASE
expression in any system:
select employeeid, max(case when IsActive = 'true' then IndividualPay end) IndPay_IsActive, max(case when IsActive = 'false' then IndividualPay end) IndPay_IsNotActive, max(case when IsActive = 'true' then FamilyPay end) FamilyPay_IsActive, max(case when IsActive = 'false' then FamilyPay end) FamilyPay_IsNotActivefrom yourtablegroup by employeeid
Depending on your database, if you have access to both the PIVOT
and UNPIVOT
functions, then they can be used to get the result. The UNPIVOT
function converts the IndividualPay
and FamilyPay
columns into rows. Once that is done, then you can create the four new columns with the PIVOT
function:
select *from( select employeeid, case when isactive = 'true' then col+'_IsActive' else col+'_IsNotActive' end col, value from yourtable unpivot ( value for col in (IndividualPay, FamilyPay) ) unpiv) srcpivot( max(value) for col in (IndividualPay_IsActive, IndividualPay_IsNotActive, FamilyPay_IsActive, FamilyPay_IsNotActive)) piv
See SQL Fiddle with Demo.
Both give the same result:
| EMPLOYEEID | INDIVIDUALPAY_ISACTIVE | INDIVIDUALPAY_ISNOTACTIVE | FAMILYPAY_ISACTIVE | FAMILYPAY_ISNOTACTIVE |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 200 | 100 | 300 | 150 |
Select EmployeeID, Active.IndividualPay As IndPay_IsActive, Active.FamilyPay As FamilyPay_IsActive, Inactive.IndividualPay As IndPay_IsNotActive, Inactive.FamilyPay As FamilyPay_IsNotActiveFrom PayTable Active Join PayTable Inactive On Active.EmployeeID = Inactive.EmployeeId And Inactive.IsActive = 'false'Where Active.IsActive = 'true'
