I'd like to know how to unpivot Table_1 into Expected_Result_Table:
Table1
-----------------------------------------
Id abc brt ccc ddq eee fff gga hxx
-----------------------------------------
12345 0 1 0 5 0 2 0 0
21321 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
33333 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
41414 0 0 0 0 5 0 0 1
55001 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2
60000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
77777 9 0 3 0 0 0 0 0
Expected_Result_Table
---------------------
Id Word Qty>0
---------------------
12345 brt 1
12345 ddq 5
12345 fff 2
33333 abc 2
41414 eee 5
41414 hxx 1
55001 hxx 2
77777 abc 9
77777 ccc 3
So, How to transpose columns in Table_1 resulting in Expected_Result_Table, considering only values > 0?
MySQL does not have an UNPIVOT function, but you can convert your columns into rows using a UNION ALL.
The basic syntax is:
select id, word, qty
from
(
select id, 'abc' word, abc qty
from yt
where abc > 0
union all
select id, 'brt', brt
from yt
where brt > 0
) d
order by id;
In your case, you state that you need a solution for dynamic columns. If that is the case, then you will need to use a prepared statement to generate dynamic SQL:
SET @sql = NULL;
SELECT
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT
CONCAT(
'select id, ''',
c.column_name,
''' as word, ',
c.column_name,
' as qty
from yt
where ',
c.column_name,
' > 0'
) SEPARATOR ' UNION ALL '
) INTO @sql
FROM information_schema.columns c
where c.table_name = 'yt'
and c.column_name not in ('id')
order by c.ordinal_position;
SET @sql
= CONCAT('select id, word, qty
from
(', @sql, ') x order by id');
PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
