I have an urgent requirement where i have to split a record based on the value present in one column called 'Quantity'.

e.g

Input
---------
col1 Quantity Price
---- -------- -----
1 2 p1
2 5 p2


Output
--------
col1 Quantity Price
---- -------- -----
1 1 p1/2
1 1 p1/2
2 1 p2/5
2 1 p2/5
2 1 p2/5
2 1 p2/5
2 1 p2/5

What is happening here , is if there is a product sold 2 times , we need to insert two entry of that product in the target and the price value of each entry would be Price/Quantity .

I don't know how to accomplish this task in Datastage , or through SQl Query .

If anybody having any idea , kindly help .

This is an all-volunteer site. So words like "urgent", "asap", "immediate" etc do not have any effect.

If you want immediate response, you can sign-up for a 24x7 support from your official support provider.

Btw, to achieve what you want, you can use 'level' functionality in Oracle or write a buildOp in DataStage.

If the qty will be less than 10, you can include that many output links and funnel them together.

You can also use a dummy join to a row gen to generate the required number of rows.

A fork-join approach would work too.

Split your stream into two. One side runs through an Aggregator to count the rows per key. The two streams are then combined using a Join stage to effect an inner join.
