The Pivot node is used to convert data from rows to columns.
Following is a sample table to be pivoted:
| orders.order_id | orders.cust_id | orders.prod_id |
|---|---|---|
| 50001 | SMITH | 10 |
| 50002 | SMITH | 20 |
| 50003 | ANDERSON | 30 |
| 50004 | ANDERSON | 40 |
| 50005 | JONES | 10 |
| 50006 | JONES | 20 |
| 50007 | SMITH | 20 |
| 50008 | SMITH | 10 |
| 50009 | SMITH | 20 |
The count for orders grouped by cust_id pivoted on prod_id is as follows:
| cust_id | prod__10 | prod__20 | prod__30 | prod__40 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JONES | 1 | 1 | NULL | NULL |
| ANDERSON | NULL | NULL | 1 | 1 |
| SMITH | 2 | 3 | NULL | NULL |
