I have a row of data like this
id first_cd sec_cd third_cd fourth_cd fifth_cd sixth_cd
1 A B null C C D
output should be:
id first_cd sec_cd third_cd fourth_cd fifth_cd sixth_cd
1 A B C D D D
I need to get distinct values from the columns and remove nulls where there are.
if, first_cd...sixth_cd are columns on the same row. 1 AB null C C D are the values Anyway to do in this in oracle sql
This is a good place to use lateral joins:
select t.*, x.*
from t cross join lateral
(select max(case when seqnum = 1 then cd end) as cd1,
max(case when seqnum = 2 then cd end) as cd2,
max(case when seqnum = 3 then cd end) as cd3,
max(case when seqnum = 4 then cd end) as cd4,
max(case when seqnum = 5 then cd end) as cd5,
max(case when seqnum = 6 then cd end) as cd6
from (select t.*, row_number() over (order by n) as seqnum
from (select t.cd1 as cd, 1 as n from dual union all
select t.cd2, 2 from dual union all
select t.cd3, 3 from dual union all
select t.cd4, 4 from dual union all
select t.cd5, 5 from dual union all
select t.cd6, 6 from dual
) x
where cd is not null
) x
) x;
Note: This returns the excess values as NULL
, which seems more in line with your problem.
