I am a newbie sql script writer. Have this problem.

I have a table with the following redundant records:
-------------------------------------------------------
ID Posn Eff_Date Job_Type
---------------------------------------------------
123456 posn001 01-JAN-2001 Primary
123456 posn002 02-MAR-2001 Secondary
123456 posn003 24-MAR-2001 Secondary
123456 posn007 03-MAY-2001 Secondary
231234 posn007 01-APR-2001 Primary
909090 posn004 19-JAN-2001 Primary
909090 posn007 22-APR-2001 Secondary
-------------------------------------------------------
Question: How do I write an SQL script so that it pulls data to make a one line record per employee? Example rpt format:

ID Posn1 Posn2 Posn3 Posn4
-------------------------------------------------------
123456 posn001 posn002 posn003 posn007
231234 posn007 NULL NULL NULL
909090 posn004 posn007 NULL NULL
-------------------------------------------------------

You can email me the script.

Thanks.

I would solve this problem by writing a PL/SQL stored procedure. Assume your TABLE_NAME is jontest:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp_jonTest IS
--
l_id varchar2(6);
--
TYPE PositionRecord IS RECORD (posn varchar2(7));
TYPE PositionTable IS TABLE of PositionRecord
INDEXED BY BINARY_INTEGER;

--
l_positionTable PositionTable;
--
CURSOR MyID IS
SELECT distinct id
FROM jontest;
CURSOR MyPosn IS
SELECT posn
FROM jontest
WHERE id = l_id;
--
BEGIN
--
FOR curIDrec in MyID
LOOP;
l_id := curIDrec.id;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT(l_id||' ');
FOR curPosnRec in MyPosn
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT(curPosnRec.posn||' '||);
END LOOP;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' ');
END LOOP;
END
/
Be sure you remember to SET SERVEROUTPUT ON before you EXEC sp_jontest in SQL*PLUS.

Ignore the following lines. I started down one path and ended up at another...

TYPE PositionRecord IS RECORD (posn varchar2(7));
TYPE PositionTable IS TABLE of PositionRecord
INDEXED BY BINARY_INTEGER;

--
l_positionTable PositionTable;
--
