hi there,
am new to SQL and now am trying to do row split.
e.g currently i have two group of record sets in the table like this below.
id records keys date
1 196 100 1/2/2000
2 49 100 2/7/2000
so now all i want is split this 2 rows into multiple rows. if i have "chunk_row_size" variable =50 then i want to split it to 5 rows instead of 2.
output should like this below.
id records keys date
1 50 100 1/2/2000
2 50 100 1/2/2000
3 50 100 1/2/2000
4 46 100 1/2/2000
5 49 100 2/7/2000
any idea will be appreciate !
thanks!!

You'll need a numbers/tally table for this. Code below uses a built in one.


declare @chunk_row_size int = 50;
select row_number() over(order by t.id,ca.number) as id,
       case when (ca.number+1)*@chunk_row_size < t.records then @chunk_row_size else t.records - (ca.number*@chunk_row_size) end as records,t.keys,t.dt
from mytable t
cross apply (select n.number from master.dbo.spt_values n where n.type='p' and n.number <= t.records/@chunk_row_size) ca
order by id;
