Come ha già detto Aleksej, non funzionerà sulla versione del server Oracle <11g.
Quindi ecco un approccio vecchio e un po' "cattivo"...
select key, c1, c2, c3 from t order by key ;
KEY C1 C2 C3
--- ----- ----- -----
r1 v1 v2 v3
r2 v1 v2
r3 v1 v3
r4 v1
r5 v2 v3
r6 v2
r7 v3
r8
Possiamo convertire ogni riga di valori C1, C2 e C3 in tre righe di valori in una singola colonna come segue.
break on key skip 1 duplicates
select key, 'C1' as source, c1 as val from t union all
select key, 'C2' as source, c2 as val from t union all
select key, 'C3' as source, c3 as val from t
order by key, source ;
KEY SOURCE VAL
--- ------ -----
r1 C1 v1
r1 C2 v2
r1 C3 v3
r2 C1 v1
r2 C2 v2
r2 C3
r3 C1 v1
r3 C2
r3 C3 v3
r4 C1 v1
r4 C2
r4 C3
r5 C1
r5 C2 v2
r5 C3 v3
r6 C1
r6 C2 v2
r6 C3
r7 C1
r7 C2
r7 C3 v3
r8 C1
r8 C2
r8 C3
Se non abbiamo bisogno delle righe con valori NULL da C1, C2 o C3, possiamo utilizzare le clausole WHERE per filtrarle.
select key, 'C1' as source, c1 as val from t where c1 is not null union all
select key, 'C2' as source, c2 as val from t where c2 is not null union all
select key, 'C3' as source, c3 as val from t where c3 is not null
order by key, source ;
KEY SOURCE VAL
--- ------ -----
r1 C1 v1
r1 C2 v2
r1 C3 v3
r2 C1 v1
r2 C2 v2
r3 C1 v1
r3 C3 v3
r4 C1 v1
r5 C2 v2
r5 C3 v3
r6 C2 v2
r7 C3 v3
