SQL将单行拆分为固定的列数

Question

We need to split a single row into fixed number of multiple columns. Following is an example for the data set:

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5
• 6
• 7

Desired Output:

Column A        Column B       Column C      Column D
1                  2              3              4
5                  6              7             NULL

Thanks for your help in advance.

SQL Server Solution:

Create Sample Table:

create table mytable (col1 int)

insert into mytable values
(1),
(2),
(3),
(4),
(5),
(6),
(7);

Using Modulo and Row_Number() , you could easily do this:

Modulo Query:

SELECT 
    R1.col1 as columnA,
    R2.col1 as columnB,
    R3.col1 as columnC,
    R4.col1 as columnD
FROM 
    (
        SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY col1 ASC) AS RowNum, col1 
        FROM mytable 
        WHERE 
            col1 % 4 = 1
    ) AS R1
    FULL OUTER JOIN (
        SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY col1 ASC) AS RowNum, col1 
        FROM mytable 
        WHERE 
            col1 % 4 = 2
    ) AS R2
    ON R1.RowNum = R2.RowNum
    FULL OUTER JOIN (
        SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY col1 ASC) AS RowNum, col1 
        FROM mytable 
        WHERE 
            col1 % 4 = 3
   ) AS R3
    ON R2.RowNum = R3.RowNum
    FULL OUTER JOIN (
        SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY col1 ASC) AS RowNum, col1 
        FROM mytable 
        WHERE 
            col1 % 4 = 0
   ) AS R4
    ON R4.RowNum = R3.RowNum

Result:

+---------+---------+---------+---------+
| columnA | columnB | columnC | columnD |
+---------+---------+---------+---------+
|       1 |       2 |       3 | 4       |
|       5 |       6 |       7 | (null)  |
+---------+---------+---------+---------+
