Which I need to be converted as below

 | husband | wife | kid1 | kid2 | kid3 | kid4

   sasas  |       |      |       |      |
    asd   |       |      |       |      |

How can I modify my select query to group the records under
husband , wife , kid1 , kid2 , kid 3 and kid 4 ?

Answer 1

Your question is not exactly clear but it seems like you want to unpivot the existing columns and then pivot the values in the user_type column.

If that is the case, then you will want to use a UNION ALL to unpivot the data and then apply an aggregate function with a CASE expression to pivot to get the final result:

select user_id, 
  user_group,
  col_name,
  max(case when user_type = 'Husband' then value end) as Husband,
  max(case when user_type = 'wife' then value end) as Wife,
  max(case when user_type = 'kid1' then value end) as Kid1,
  max(case when user_type = 'kid2' then value end) as Kid2,
  max(case when user_type = 'kid3' then value end) as Kid3,
  max(case when user_type = 'ki4=d4' then value end) as Kid4
from
(
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'prefix' as col_name, prefix as value
  from yourtable
  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'fname' as col_name, fname as value
  from yourtable
  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'mname' as col_name, mname as value
  from yourtable
  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'lname' as col_name, lname as value
  from yourtable
  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'suffix' as col_name, suffix as value
  from yourtable
  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'nick_name' as col_name, nick_name as value
  from yourtable
  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'company' as col_name, company as value
  from yourtable
  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'department' as col_name, department as value
  from yourtable
) src
group by user_id, user_group, col_name

See SQL Fiddle with Demo. Your sample data does not have many values, but the result will be similar to this:

| USER_ID | USER_GROUP |   COL_NAME | HUSBAND |   WIFE |   KID1 |   KID2 |   KID3 |   KID4 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|       0 |         23 |    company |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         23 | department |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         23 |      fname |     asd | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         23 |      lname |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         23 |      mname |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         23 |  nick_name |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         23 |     prefix |   sasas | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         23 |     suffix |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         24 |    company |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         24 | department |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         24 |      fname |     asd | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         24 |      lname |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         24 |      mname |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         24 |  nick_name |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         24 |     prefix |   sasas | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
|       0 |         24 |     suffix |  (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |

Note: I included additional columns to unpivot but if you only want the fname you would only include those columns in the subquery

Edit #1, if you need to keep the order of the data based on the columns in the original table, then you can add a column to the UNION ALL queries with the sort order. You can then use that column in an ORDER BY. So the query will be:

select user_id, 
  user_group,
  col_name,
  max(case when user_type = 'Husband' then value end) as Husband,
  max(case when user_type = 'wife' then value end) as Wife,
  max(case when user_type = 'kid1' then value end) as Kid1,
  max(case when user_type = 'kid2' then value end) as Kid2,
  max(case when user_type = 'kid3' then value end) as Kid3,
  max(case when user_type = 'ki4=d4' then value end) as Kid4
from
(
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'prefix' as col_name, prefix as value
      , 1 as sortorder
  from yourtable
  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'fname' as col_name, fname as value
      , 2 as sortorder

  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'mname' as col_name, mname as value

  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'lname' as col_name, lname as value
      , 4 as sortorder
  from yourtable
  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'suffix' as col_name, suffix as value
      , 5 as sortorder
  from yourtable
  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'nick_name' as col_name, nick_name as value
      , 6 as sortorder
  from yourtable
  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'company' as col_name, company as value
      , 7 as sortorder

  union all
  select user_id, user_type, user_group,
      'department' as col_name, department as value
      , 8 as sortorder

group by user_id, user_group, col_name
