Look at books Online for Pivot table

Another option is to use a a Cross Tab Query:

This is a good place to get you started http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/t-sql-pivot-tables-in-sql-server-tutorial-with-examples.aspx.

There is a few examples on using pivot.

Hi Rajesh,

I have created same scenario using the data discussed in your question as below:

CREATE TABLE PIVOTING(NAME VARCHAR(4),DATE DATE, SIZE INTEGER);

INSERT INTO PIVOTING

SELECT * FROM (

SELECT 'AAAA' NAME, CAST('04/15/2011' AS DATE) DATE , 3 SIZE

UNION

SELECT 'BBBB', CAST('05/10/2011' AS DATE), 8

UNION

SELECT 'CCCC', CAST('06/11/2011' AS DATE), 2)A;

Now for pulling the data in the format as required you can use following PIVOT SQL:

SELECT * FROM PIVOTING

PIVOT (MAX(SIZE) FOR DATE IN ([2011-04-15],[2011-05-10],[2011-06-11]))A;

The result set of above SQL is as follows:

Name2011-04-152011-05-102011-06-11

AAAA 3 NULL NULL

BBBB NULL 8 NULL

CCCC NULL NULL 2

You can modify the SQL as per your convenience. Also, you can use this SQL in your stored procedure.

Hi Rajesh,

As you have requested, I have developed a dynamic Query which will convert all the Unique records in Date Column of the table from ROWS to COLUMNs. Hence you need not hard code the COLUMN names.

Below is the developed SQL. The below SQL uses the same table I have created in my last reply as Quoted above:cool::

SELECT DISTINCT

DATE

INTO #AllDates

FROM pivoting;

SELECT

*

FROM #AllDates;

DECLARE @CursorLoop INTEGER

DECLARE @TempMetrics VARCHAR(100)

DECLARE @Metrics VARCHAR(MAX)

DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(MAX)

SET @Metrics = ''

DECLARE cursor_metrics CURSOR FOR

SELECT

*

FROM #AllDates

OPEN cursor_metrics

SET @CursorLoop = 1

FETCH NEXT FROM cursor_metrics INTO @TempMetrics

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0

BEGIN

SET @Metrics = @Metrics + ',' + '[' + @TempMetrics + ']'

FETCH NEXT FROM cursor_metrics INTO @TempMetrics

END

CLOSE cursor_metrics

DEALLOCATE cursor_metrics

SET @CursorLoop = 0

SET @Metrics = SUBSTRING(@Metrics, 2, LEN(@Metrics))

PRINT @Metrics

SET @SQL = 'SELECT * FROM PIVOTING

PIVOT (MAX(SIZE) FOR DATE IN (' + @Metrics + '))A'

EXEC (@SQL)

You can use this SQL in your Stored Procedure with Slight modifications in Table names and Variable names, if required.

Or you can look into using Dynamic Cross Tabs:

Cross Tabs and Pivots, Part 2 - Dynamic Cross Tabs[/url]

Similar to how Cross Tabs outperform PIVOTs, a Dynamic Cross Tab process will outperform a Dynamic PIVOT process.
