Draaien in weergave ongedaan maken werkt niet in Oracle

Zoals Aleksej al zei - het werkt niet op de Oracle-serverversie <11g.

Dus hier is een oude en beetje "vervelende" benadering...

select key, c1, c2, c3 from t order by key ;

KEY C1    C2    C3
--- ----- ----- -----
r1  v1    v2    v3
r2  v1    v2
r3  v1          v3
r4  v1
r5        v2    v3
r6        v2
r7              v3
r8

We kunnen elke rij met C1-, C2- en C3-waarden als volgt converteren naar drie rijen met waarden onder een enkele kolom.

break on key skip 1 duplicates
select key, 'C1' as source, c1 as val from t union all
select key, 'C2' as source, c2 as val from t union all
select key, 'C3' as source, c3 as val from t
order by key, source ;

KEY SOURCE VAL
--- ------ -----
r1  C1     v1
r1  C2     v2
r1  C3     v3
r2  C1     v1
r2  C2     v2
r2  C3
r3  C1     v1
r3  C2
r3  C3     v3
r4  C1     v1
r4  C2
r4  C3
r5  C1
r5  C2     v2
r5  C3     v3
r6  C1
r6  C2     v2
r6  C3
r7  C1
r7  C2
r7  C3     v3
r8  C1
r8  C2
r8  C3

Als we de rijen met NULL-waarden van C1, C2 of C3 niet nodig hebben, kunnen we WHERE-clausules gebruiken om ze eruit te filteren.

select key, 'C1' as source, c1 as val from t where c1 is not null union all
select key, 'C2' as source, c2 as val from t where c2 is not null union all
select key, 'C3' as source, c3 as val from t where c3 is not null
order by key, source ;

KEY SOURCE VAL
--- ------ -----
r1  C1     v1
r1  C2     v2
r1  C3     v3
r2  C1     v1
r2  C2     v2
r3  C1     v1
r3  C3     v3
r4  C1     v1
r5  C2     v2
r5  C3     v3
r6  C2     v2
r7  C3     v3
