Re: SQL rows to columns

If you want two columns, just remove the CONCAT

Just use a join...

select odcom#, odord#, odcmt#,
coalesce(n1.uccmt, '') as comment1,
coalesce(n2.uccmt, '') as comment2
from oeordlod
left join notepduc n1
on n1.ucnott = 'C'
and n1.ucntk = odcmt#
and n1.ucsq3# = 1
left join notepduc n2
on n2.ucnott = 'C'
and n2.ucntk = odcmt#
and n2.ucsq3# = 1
where odord# = '10574107'

Thanks all...

I need this in two columns (eventually maybe up to 5 columns)... so
listagg doesn't seem to do it. Charles Join example also creates a single
column.

I used Birgitta's example - this returns the desired output, but took 60
seconds. My sub-select took 31 milliseconds.
The NOTEPDUC file is large file (12m records).

Run SQL Scripts Explain does not recommend any additional indexes. The
aggregation and table probe were the big winners.

So I'm wondering if the sub-select is the best approach?

Thx

You may try something like this (it is at least one Sub-Select less)

With x as (Select Ucntk, Min(Case When UCq3# = 1 Then UCCMT End) Comment1,
Min(Case When UCq3# = 2 Then UCCMT End) Comment2
from Notepduc
Where UCNOTT = 'C'
and UCSQ3 in (1, 2)
Group By UCNTK
Select Odcom#, Odord#, Odcmt#,
Coalesce(Comment1, '') Comment1, Coalesce(Comment2m '') Comment2
from Oeorlod Left join x on ucntk = Odcmt#
