I have the following data:
ID CLASS VALUE
1 NHB 700905.7243
1 HBW 164216.1311
1 HBO 700905.7243
2 NHB 146023.3792
2 HBW 89543.2972
2 HBO 82152.072
3 NHB 1409818.328
3 HBW 220430.7922
3 HBO 323512.9391
4 NHB 48711.3814
4 HBW 163385.1575
4 HBO 363352.3441
That I want to reorganize as:
ID HBO HBW NHB
1 700905.7243 164216.1311 700905.7243
2 82152.072 89543.2972 146023.3792
3 323512.9391 220430.7922 1409818.328
4 363352.3441 163385.1575 48711.3814
Please note that the values in columns HBW, HBO and NHB are totals (sum).
Here is the script I am using to create the output:
-- CREATE EXTENSION tablefunc;
SELECT *
FROM CROSSTAB
(
'SELECT _tlfd.id,
_tlfd."class",
_tlfd."value"
FROM public._tlfd
WHERE _tlfd."class" = ''HBW'' or _tlfd."class" = ''HBO'' or _tlfd."class" = ''NHB''
ORDER BY 1,2'
)
AS
(
"class" int,
"HBW" text,
"HBO" text,
"NHB" text,
--"Purpose" varchar,
"value" double precision
);
When I run the script I get this error:
ERROR: return and sql tuple descriptions are incompatible.
I am not sure what this means and how to correct the error. Can someone please let me know:
This works for me on Postgres 9.3:
SELECT *
FROM crosstab (
$$SELECT id, class, "value"
FROM _tlfd
WHERE class = ANY ('{HBW, HBO, NHB}')
ORDER BY 1,2$$
) AS t (
class int, -- needs a table alias!
"HBW" float8, -- resulting columns are double precision!
"HBO" float8,
"NHB" float8
-- "value" double precision -- column does not exist in result!
);
Produces the desired output.
t
)"value"
double precision
a.k.a. float8
)The rest is a matter of taste and style. I wouldn't use value
as column name though, since it is a reserved word in SQL.
