Pivoting of data using two columns

Question

I have data in pivoted format. It looks like this:

-----------------------------------------
| user_id |  org  |   position  | lang  |
----------------------         


        

Answer 1

Here is a way to get the data in the format you want:

SELECT user_id, 
  max(case when lang = 'FI' THEN org ELSE ' ' END) org_fi,
  max(case when lang = 'FI' THEN position ELSE ' ' END) position_fi,
  max(case when lang = 'EN' THEN org ELSE ' ' END) org_en,
  max(case when lang = 'EN' THEN position ELSE ' ' END) position_en,
  max(case when lang = 'SV' THEN org ELSE ' ' END) org_sv,
  max(case when lang = 'SV' THEN position ELSE ' ' END) position_sv
FROM source
group by user_id
order by user_id

11gr2 PIVOT example

SQL> create table t1
(
user_id number,
org varchar2(10),
position varchar2(10),
lang varchar2(10)
)
Table created.
SQL> insert into t1 values (1,'ABC','VVV','EN')
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t1 values (1,'DEF','WWW','FI')
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t1 values (2,'GHI','XXX','FI')
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t1 values (2,'JKL','YYY','SV')
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t1 values (3,'MNO','ZZZ','EN')
1 row created.
SQL> commit
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from t1

   USER_ID ORG        POSITION   LANG     
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
         1 ABC        VVV        EN        
         1 DEF        WWW        FI       
         2 GHI        XXX        FI       
         2 JKL        YYY        SV       
         3 MNO        ZZZ        EN       

5 rows selected.
SQL> select * from t1
pivot(max(org) as org, max(position) as position for lang in ('EN' as "EN",'FI' as "FI",'SV' as "SV"))

   USER_ID EN_ORG     EN_POSITION FI_ORG     FI_POSITION SV_ORG     SV_POSITION
---------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ---------- -----------
         1 ABC        VVV         DEF        WWW                              
         2                        GHI        XXX         JKL        YYY       
         3 MNO        ZZZ                                                     

3 rows selected.

PIVOT should work fine - SQL Fiddle demo _{(schema borrowed from bluefeets answer)}

SELECT *
FROM   source
PIVOT (
        MIN(org) AS org,
        MIN(position) AS position
        FOR lang
        IN('EN' AS en, 'FI' AS fi, 'SV' AS sv)
      );
