PIVOT IN SQL- A WALK WITH SMALL EXAMPLE

Here is my table named P. Table contains information about some random people who is having different type of telephonic medium to be contacted.
Here is how my table P looks like:
















But I need the output in following way as shown in the snippet






Here we can see that Row value of Table P is mirrored as column name and Corresponding values are loaded as its row.

This type output is very to analyze than original table P. Isn't right?
Well To achieve this format of output, we use, PIVOT command in SQL.

Here is the script and out of it in a Snippet:


SELECT NAME, HOME,OFFICE, MOBILE FROM
(SELECT * FROM P) T
PIVOT (MAX (PHONE_NUMBER) FOR PHONE_TYPE IN (HOME,OFFICE,MOBILE)) OUTPUT1
ORDER BY NAME
















Here is how it works. The first two lines of the query is used to select what we need in the output. Next PIVOT command is used to change rows to column names where we are going to use some MultiValue functions like MAX, MIN,AVG etc on the column which is needed to be displayed as row followed by FOR command which is used to indicate based on  which column type that MultiValue functions should be grouped on.

 Here example based on Phone_type, The numbers are classified. IN command is used to let us know based on what values does MultiValue functions should appear as. Here we used HOME, OFFICE, MOBILE and based on these three present in Column PHONE_TYPE, The values of PHONE_NUMBER columns are classified.

BIG Data, Hadoop – Chapter 2 - Data Life Cycle

Data Life Cycle The data life cycle is pictorial defined as show below:     As we see, in our current system, we capture/ Extract our data, then we store it and later we process for reporting and analytics. But in case of big data, the problem lies in storing and then processing it faster. Hence Hadoop takes this portion, where it stores the data in effective format (Hadoop distributed File System) and also process using its engine (Map Reduce Engine). Since Map Reduce engine or Hadoop engine need data on HDFS format to process, We have favorable tools available in market to do this operation. As an example, Scoop is a tool which converts RDBMS to HDFS. Likewise we have SAP BOD to convert sap system data to HDFS.

SSIS: The Value Was Too Large To Fit In The Output Column

I had a SSIS package where I was calling a stored procedure in OLEDB Source and it was returning a “The Value Was Too Large to Fit in the Output Column” error. Well, My Datatype in OLEDB source was matching with my OLEDB Destination table. However, when I googled, we got solutions like to increase the output of OLEDB Source using Advanced Editor option . I was not at all comfortable with their solution as my source, destination and my intermediate transformation all are having same length and data type and I don’t want to change. Then I found that I was missing SET NOCOUNT ON option was missing in Stored Procedure. Once I added it, my data flow task ran successfully. 

How to Copy or Move Multiple Files from One Folder to Another Folder using Talend

Hello all, In this Post, I will explain how to move Multiple Files from One Folder (Say Source) to Other folder (Say Destination). This Post will also helps you to understand How to Declare Variable and Use it. To Declare a variable, We are go to use Contexts option in repository. Lets say we have two .txt files in Path D:/Source/ . My Requirement is to move the files from Source Folder ( D:/Source/ ) to Destination Folder ( D:/Dest/ ). Step 1: Open a New job Step 2: Now right click and Create a New Contexts from Repository. Give some Name and give Next. Step 3: Now Fill in the Source Directory Details where the loop on files should happen as shown in the snippet and give finish. Step 4: Now Context is created and The values will be changing based on each file in Folder. Step 5: Click and Drag the context from Repository to Context Job Window below the Job Designer. Step 6: If we Expand the Contexts, We can find the variable SourcePath is holdi...
