T-SQL：将列转换为行并插入/更新另一个表

Question

I have to update data from #data table to #tests table in desired format. I am not sure how I would archive result using T-SQL query?

NOTE: Temp tables have only 3 columns for sample purpose only but real table have more than 50 columns for each set.

Here is what my tables look like,

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#tests') IS NOT NULL 
    DROP TABLE #tests
GO

CREATE TABLE #tests
(
    id int,
    FirstName varchar(100),
    LastName varchar(100),
    UniueNumber varchar(100)
)

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#data') IS NOT NULL 
    DROP TABLE #data
GO

CREATE TABLE #data
(
    id int,
    FirstName1 varchar(100),
    LastName1 varchar(100),
    UniueNumber1 varchar(100),
    FirstName2 varchar(100),
    LastName2 varchar(100),
    UniueNumber2 varchar(100),
    FirstName3 varchar(100),
    LastName3 varchar(100),
    UniueNumber3 varchar(100),
    FirstName4 varchar(100),
    LastName4 varchar(100),
    UniueNumber4 varchar(100),
    FirstName5 varchar(100),
    LastName5 varchar(100),
    UniueNumber5 varchar(100),
    FirstName6 varchar(100),
    LastName6 varchar(100),
    UniueNumber6 varchar(100),
    FirstName7 varchar(100),
    LastName7 varchar(100),
    UniueNumber7 varchar(100)
)

INSERT INTO #data 
VALUES (111, 'Tom', 'M', '12345', 'Sam', 'M', '65432', 'Chris', 'PATT', '54656', 'Sean', 'Meyer', '865554', 'Mike', 'Max', '999999', 'Tee', 'itc', '656546444', 'Mickey', 'Mul', '65443231')

INSERT INTO #data  
VALUES (222, 'Kurr', 'P', '22222', 'Yammy', 'G', '33333', 'Saras', 'pi', '55555', 'Man', 'Shey', '666666', 'Max', 'Dopit', '66666678', '', '', '', '', '', '')

INSERT INTO #data 
VALUES (333, 'Mia', 'K', '625344', 'Tee', 'TE', '777766', 'david', 'mot', '4444444', 'Jeff', 'August', '5666666', 'Mylee', 'Max', '0000000', '', '', '', 'Amy', 'Marr', '55543444')

SELECT * 
FROM #data

I want to insert/update data into #tests table from #data table. Insert data into #tests table if id and UniqueNumber combination does not exists from #data table. If combination exists then update data into #tests table from #data table

This is desired output into #tests table

Answer 1

One way is to query each group of columns separately and UNION the results

SELECT 
    id int,
    FirstName1 as FirstName,
    LastName1 as LastName,
    UniueNumber1 AS SSN
FROM #data
UNION 
SELECT 
    id int,
    FirstName2 as FirstName,
    LastName2 as LastName,
    UniueNumber2 AS SSN
FROM #data
UNION 
...

There's not a way to cleanly "loop through" the 7 groups of columns - you'll spend more time building a loop to create the query dynamically than just copying and pasting the query 6 times and changing the number.

Of course, it's best to avoid the type of structure you have in #data now if at all possible.

Answer 2

Here is an option that will dynamically UNPIVOT your data without using Dynamic SQL

This is assuming your columns end with a NUMERIC ie FirstName##

Example

Select ID
      ,FirstName
      ,LastName
      ,UniueNumber
 From  (
        SELECT A.ID
              ,Grp
              ,Col = replace([Key],Grp,'')
              ,Value
        FROM #data A
        Cross Apply (
                        Select [Key]
                              ,Value
                              ,Grp = substring([Key],patindex('%[0-9]%',[Key]),25)
                         From OpenJson( (Select A.* For JSON Path,Without_Array_Wrapper  ) ) 
                    ) B
       ) src
 Pivot ( max(Value) for Col in ([FirstName],[LastName],[UniueNumber]) ) pvt
 Order By ID,Grp
