Hello, I have the following query and I need the results in 1 row going across. Here is the query:
SELECT top(5)
ap.apptDte,
ap.begTime,
lc.locName,
ev.event,
pm.fname + ' ' + pm.lname
FROM
appts ap
join loc_mstr lc on lc.locID = ap.locID
join events ev on ev.eventID = ap.eventID
join prov_mstr pm on pm.provID = ap.rend_provID
WHERE
personID = '5D06AAE9-1B8D-461B-BAAB-633C1ED7ED43'
AND appt_date > GETDATE()
The results would have 25 columns on 1 row. Is this possible?
Thank you.

Yes it is possible. Please read the links in my signature about cross tabs. If you still need help then read the first link in my signature for best practices when posting questions.

There is no aggregated data here. The results from this query would be a 5 rows with 5 columns. I just need to have 1 row with with 25 columns. Do you have any sample code with this?

Without sample data and expected results, I'm only taking a shot in the dark.

You should really read and understand the articles mentioned by Sean as there's some sample code in them.

I can't test my solution but it might give you an idea. Even if it worked, you must complete it.

WITH CTE as(

SELECT top(5)

ap.apptDte,

ap.begTime,

lc.locName,

ev.event,

pm.fname + ' ' + pm.lname AS name,

ROW_NUMBER() OVER( ORDER BY( SELECT NULL)) rn

FROM

appts ap

join loc_mstr lc on lc.locID = ap.locID

join events ev on ev.eventID = ap.eventID

join prov_mstr pm on pm.provID = ap.rend_provID

WHERE

personID = '5D06AAE9-1B8D-461B-BAAB-633C1ED7ED43'

AND appt_date > GETDATE())

SELECT MAX( CASE WHEN rn = 1 THEN apptDte END),

MAX( CASE WHEN rn = 1 THEN begTime END),

MAX( CASE WHEN rn = 1 THEN locName END),

MAX( CASE WHEN rn = 1 THEN event END),

MAX( CASE WHEN rn = 1 THEN name END),

MAX( CASE WHEN rn = 2 THEN apptDte END),

MAX( CASE WHEN rn = 2 THEN begTime END),

MAX( CASE WHEN rn = 2 THEN locName END),

MAX( CASE WHEN rn = 2 THEN event END),

MAX( CASE WHEN rn = 2 THEN name END)

--And so on

FROM CTE
