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.

Talend ETL Part 1: SQL Server Database to Excel Sheet

Hello All, Of many ETL tools available in Market, One of the strong tool is Talend. Difference between other ETL tools and tools like Pentaho, Talend, Clover ETL, Adeptia Integration etc, is that they support NO SQL Cross domains, BIG Data, Hadoop etc. Other ETL tools like, SSIS, Informatica are now coming with their higher versions, which consists of Hadoop Integration. Basically We can say, there are two databases types. 1) RDBMS (Example: SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle etc) 2) Non RDBMS (Example: MongoDB, InfiniDB etc) Talend Supports Non RDBMS databases. Here I would like to share my hands on experience on Talend and how to use it and explain basic components of Talend. Approx there are 500 components we can find in Talend. So lets Kick Start from Basics. First lets try to load Data from Microsoft SQL Server to Excel. Steps: Step1: Open Talend Studio. Step 2: Right click on Job Design and Create a new Job by giving some job name. Step 3: Give the name o...
