Query to display output horizontally

Question

I need to display a query output in a horizontal manner. I have some example data

create table TestTable (id number, name varchar2(10))

insert into TestTabl         


        

Answer 1

Maybe it will help you:

select 'id', LISTAGG(id, ' ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY name)      
from testtable
union 
select 'name', LISTAGG(name, ' ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY name)
from testtable

EDIT:

or with pivot:

create table TestTable2 (id varchar2(30), name varchar2(10));

insert into TestTable2 values ('id', 'name');


insert into TestTable2
select cast(id as varchar2(30)) as id , name
from testtable

  select *
    from testtable2
    pivot (  max(name)
             for id in ('id',1,2,3,4) 
)

Answer 2

To pivot, you should use the pivot clause of the select statement:

select *
  from testtable
 pivot ( max(name)
         for id in (1,2,3,4)
       )

This is not particularly pretty to do in SQL, so you should consider carefully whether this is what you want to do. I normally use Oracle Base for pivoting examples but there are many out there.

Here's a little SQL Fiddle to demonstrate.

Answer 3

PIVOT operator is what you are looking for.
