Question

I am writing a query that will be used in a .NET application, therefore I would like the SQL Server 2008 o do much of the processing for me instead of the client PC that the application will run on.

I am trying to get data from some tables I joined together.

Here is an example:

SELECT SUBSTRING(CAST(CAST(HCPD.SeferCikisZamani AS TIME) AS VARCHAR), 1, 5) AS Kalkis, SUBSTRING(CAST(CAST(HCPD.DonusZamani AS TIME) AS VARCHAR), 1, 5) AS Donus, V.AracPlaka
FROM HAT_CALISMA_PLANI HCP WITH(NOLOCK)
INNER JOIN HAT_CALISMA_PLANI_DETAY HCPD WITH(NOLOCK) ON HCPD.HatCalismaPlaniKey = HCP.HatCalismaPlaniKey
INNER JOIN VALIDATOR V WITH(NOLOCK) ON V.ValidatorKey = HCPD.ValidatorKey
WHERE HCP.HatKey = 2 AND CAST(HCPD.SeferCikisZamani AS DATE) = '2012-09-25'
ORDER BY Kalkis

This query returns this result:

Kalkis  Donus   AracPlaka
-------------------------
01:51   02:01   07 ABY 04
02:02   02:12   07 AB 978
02:21   02:31   07 ABY 04
02:32   02:42   07 AB 978
03:01   03:11   07 ABY 04
03:02   03:12   07 AB 978
03:31   03:41   07 ABY 04
03:42   03:52   07 AB 978
04:01   04:11   07 ABY 04

However, In my report they are supposed to look like this,

        07 ABY 04   07 AB 978
Kalkis  06:15       06:30
Donus   07:45       08:00
Kalkis  08:00       08:10
Donus   09:30       09:40
Kalkis  10:00       10:15
Donus   11:30       11:45
Kalkis  12:30       12:45
Donus   14:00       14:15

By the way, these are like bus schedules.
Anyone know a good way to achieve this?

Answer 1

It would be easier to see the data before you queried it, but if you want to use your existing query, you can do the following:

select *
from
(
  select AracPlaka, val, col,
     row_number() over(partition by AracPlaka order by VAL, col) rn
  from
  (
    SELECT SUBSTRING(CAST(CAST(HCPD.SeferCikisZamani AS TIME) AS VARCHAR), 1, 5) AS Kalkis, 
      SUBSTRING(CAST(CAST(HCPD.DonusZamani AS TIME) AS VARCHAR), 1, 5) AS Donus, 
      V.AracPlaka
    FROM HAT_CALISMA_PLANI HCP WITH(NOLOCK)
    INNER JOIN HAT_CALISMA_PLANI_DETAY HCPD WITH(NOLOCK) 
      ON HCPD.HatCalismaPlaniKey = HCP.HatCalismaPlaniKey
    INNER JOIN VALIDATOR V WITH(NOLOCK) 
      ON V.ValidatorKey = HCPD.ValidatorKey
    WHERE HCP.HatKey = 2 
      AND CAST(HCPD.SeferCikisZamani AS DATE) = '2012-09-25'
   -- ORDER BY Kalkis
  ) x
  unpivot
  (
    val
    for col in(Kalkis, Donus)
  ) u
) x1
pivot
(
  max(val)
  for AracPlaka In([07 ABY 04], [07 AB 978])
) p

Since you are attempting to PIVOT two columns, the easiest way is to UNPIVOT the Kalkis and the Donus columns first, then apply the PIVOT to the data.
