sql - 关于非规范化。我怎样才能使这个查询更短或更好？(SQL 服务器 2000)

Question

INSERT INTO
denormalizedTable

SELECT
table1.userName,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 1 THEN table2.Question END) AS question_1,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 1 THEN table2.Answer END) AS answer_1,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 2 THEN table2.Question END) AS question_2,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 2 THEN table2.Answer END) AS answer_2,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 3 THEN table2.Question END) AS question_3,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 3 THEN table2.Answer END) AS answer_3,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 4 THEN table2.Question END) AS question_4,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 4 THEN table2.Answer END) AS answer_4,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 5 THEN table2.Question END) AS question_5,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 5 THEN table2.Answer END) AS answer_5,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 6 THEN table2.Question END) AS question_6,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 6 THEN table2.Answer END) AS answer_6,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 7 THEN table2.Question END) AS question_7,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 7 THEN table2.Answer END) AS answer_7,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 8 THEN table2.Question END) AS question_8,
MAX(CASE WHEN table2.Type = 8 THEN table2.Answer END) AS answer_8

FROM
table1
JOIN
table2
ON
table1.userID = table2.userID 

GROUP BY table1.userName

Answer 1

您正在 SQL 中执行“PIVOT”操作。没有真正更好的方法可以做，所以你不能真正让它变得更好。

也许您可以 GROUP BY table1.userID 而不是 userName ！

问题是：为什么需要这样的查询？

如果您正在为客户端执行查询以在视图中返回结果，则枢轴操作必须是视图的工作，而不是 DAL。

我们需要更多的上下文来回答你！
