Get corrosponding record Of Row in Another Column of SQL Table

Question

I am having SQL table where the records of the employee on daily basis are stored/saved I would like to get that result in tabular format

Consider a Table As Shown Below

Answer 1

Assuming that there is at most one row of each type for each person, you can do this using conditional aggregation:

select name,
       max(case when action = 'INTIME' then dateandtime end) as intime,
       max(case when action = 'OUTTIME' then dateandtime end) as outtime,
       max(case when action = 'LUNCH' then dateandtime end) as lunch
from t
group by name;

If you have multiple values for a given name, I would recommend that you ask a new question with details on how to handle that situation.

Answer 2

I had used a CTE which is worked for me and is as follows

WITH cte 
AS (SELECT Row_number() 
OVER( 
partition BY [name] 
ORDER BY [name]) AS rn, *FROM   table1)           
SELECT a.[dateandtime]  AS [IN], 
b.[dateandtime]  AS [OUT], 
a.[action]  AS [myaction], 
   c.[dateandtime]  AS [lunchTIME] 
FROM   (SELECT * 
FROM   cte a 
WHERE  rn = 1) a 
JOIN (SELECT * 
FROM   cte b 
WHERE  rn = 2) b 
ON a.[name] = b.[name] 
LEFT JOIN (SELECT * 
FROM   cte b 
WHERE  rn = 3) c 
ON a.[name] = c.[name]  

Answer 3

Consider the following, which uses application code to handle the pivoting/rearrangement of an array...

<?php

/*
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS my_table;

CREATE TABLE my_table
(id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY
,name VARCHAR(12) NOT NULL
,dt DATETIME NOT NULL
,action VARCHAR(12) NOT NULL
);

INSERT INTO my_table VALUES
(1,'John'     ,'2019-07-07 10:00:00','in'),
(2,'John'     ,'2019-07-07 18:00:00','out'),
(3,'William'  ,'2019-07-07 10:02:00','in'),
(4,'Catherine','2019-07-07 10:10:00','in'),
(5,'John'     ,'2019-07-07 13:00:00','lunch'),
(6,'Catherine','2019-07-07 18:30:00','out'),
(7,'Catherine','2019-07-07 14:30:00','lunch'),
(8,'William'  ,'2019-07-07 19:14:00','in');
*/

require('path/to/connnection/stateme.nts');

$query = "
SELECT id
     , name
     , dt
     , action
  FROM my_table
 ORDER
    BY name
     , action;
";

$result = mysqli_query($db,$query);

$array = array();

while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
$array[] = $row;
}

foreach($array as $v){
$new_array[$v['name']][$v['action']] = $v['dt'];
}


print_r($new_array);

?>

Outputs:

Array
(
    [Catherine] => Array
        (
            [in] => 2019-07-07 10:10:00
            [lunch] => 2019-07-07 14:30:00
            [out] => 2019-07-07 18:30:00
        )

    [John] => Array
        (
            [in] => 2019-07-07 10:00:00
            [lunch] => 2019-07-07 13:00:00
            [out] => 2019-07-07 18:00:00
        )

    [William] => Array
        (
            [in] => 2019-07-07 19:14:00
        )
