Repeat Rows N Times According to Column Value
I have following table.
Table A:
ID ProductFK Quantity Price
------------------------------------------------
10 1 2 100
11 2 3 150
12 1 1 120
----------------------------------------------
I need select that repeat Rows N Time According to Quantity Column Value.
So I need following select result:
ID ProductFK Quantity Price
------------------------------------------------
10 1 1 100
10 1 1 100
11 2 1 150
11 2 1 150
11 2 1 150
12 1 1 120
Solution 1:
You can use a simple JOIN
to get the desired result as below:
SELECT t1.*, t2.number + 1 RepeatNumber
FROM TableA t1
JOIN master.dbo.spt_values t2 ON t2.type = 'P' AND t2.number < t1.Quantity
The above query repeats each record by the specified number in Quantity
column.
Note for master.dbo.spt_values on type = 'P'
:
This table is used for getting a series of number which is hard-coded in it by
condition of type = 'P'
.
Solution 2:
You could do that with a recursive CTE using UNION ALL
:
;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT * FROM Table1
UNION ALL
SELECT cte.[ID], cte.ProductFK, (cte.[Order] - 1) [Order], cte.Price
FROM cte INNER JOIN Table1 t
ON cte.[ID] = t.[ID]
WHERE cte.[Order] > 1
)
SELECT [ID], ProductFK, 1 [Order], Price
FROM cte
ORDER BY 1
Here's a working SQLFiddle.
Here's a longer explanation of this technique.
Since your input is too large for this recursion, you could use an auxillary table to have "many" dummy rows and then use SELECT TOP([Order])
for each input row (CROSS APPLY
):
;WITH E00(N) AS (SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1),
E02(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E00 a, E00 b),
E04(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E02 a, E02 b),
E08(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E04 a, E04 b),
E16(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E08 a, E08 b)
SELECT t.[ID], t.ProductFK, 1 [Order], t.Price
FROM Table1 t CROSS APPLY (
SELECT TOP(t.[Order]) N
FROM E16) ca
ORDER BY 1
(The auxillary table is borrowed from here, it allows up to 65536 rows per input row and can be extended if required)
Here's a working SQLFiddle.
