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.

How to move multiple files in ssis and also rename simultaneously

There are two ways to achieve this. 1) We can move the flat files and then rename it. 2) While moving files itself, automatic rename should be done. We will do the second type. The criteria is to rename the files while moving from source to destination. So for that, we need FILE SYSTEM TASK to be included. Secondly since we need to move many files, we will use FOR EACH LOOP CONTAINER. To fetch all the files, we can use FOR EACH LOOP task in SSIS. In collection tab, we can select FOREACH FILE enumerator option for fetching files and we can change enumerator configuration Folder option: Points to source where we need to fetch files. Files: will give us idea whether we need to fetch all the files (*.*) or if we give extension like *.txt, it is going to fetch only  .txt files . Once I give Source name in FOR EACH LOOP container, It is going to fetch all the files corresponding to that path. Retrieve file name: This option is used to let the variables mentioned in V...
