Dear Friends,

I have table in below mentioned format.

SQL

OWNER	VECH	VECH NO
SIVA	BUS	11
SIVA	BUS	22
SIVA	BUS	33
SIVA	CAR	44
SIVA	CAR	55
SIVA	CAR	66
SIVA	VAN	77
SIVA	VAN	88
SIVA	VAN	99

But I have the result to be displayed as

SQL

OWNER	BUS NO	CAR NO	VAN NO
SIVA	11	44	77
SIVA	22	55	88
SIVA	33	66	99

When I try using

Case when and MAX

function, it gives me only one row. Can any guide me on this.

You can achieve this using the PIVOT function. Check this for examples: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177410(v=sql.105).aspx[^]

That said, your data doesn't really indicate how you would actually have the car, bus and van numbers linked... there must be more to it.

If you have a fixed number of things, and don't feel like pivoting them, you could also achieve it using views, or subqueries... the options are endless!! (Well, maybe not endless...)

It should be something similar to this query:

SQL

DECLARE @tmp TABLE (OWNER VARCHAR(30), VECH VARCHAR(30), [VECH NO] INT)

INSERT INTO @tmp (OWNER, VECH, [VECH NO])
VALUES('SIVA', 'BUS', 11),
('SIVA', 'BUS', 22),
('SIVA', 'BUS', 33),
('SIVA', 'CAR', 44),
('SIVA', 'CAR', 55),
('SIVA', 'CAR', 66),
('SIVA', 'VAN', 77),
('SIVA', 'VAN', 88),
('SIVA', 'VAN', 99)


SELECT RowNo, OWNER, [BUS], [CAR], [VAN]
FROM (
   SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY VECH ORDER BY [VECH NO]) AS RowNo, OWNER, VECH, [VECH NO]
   FROM @tmp
) AS DT
PIVOT (MAX([Vech No]) FOR VECH IN ([BUS], [CAR], [VAN])) AS PT

If there is more than 3 destination columns, you need to use dynamic pivot[^] ;)

Result:

1	SIVA	11	44	77
2	SIVA	22	55	88
3	SIVA	33	66	99
