I have 2 tables with a main table with a unique UUID as index and a sub-table containing the languages of 1 row of the main table.
E.g. table_1
uuid | code |
---|---|
111-etc | 123 |
222-etc | 321 |
table_1_lang
uuid | lang_code | title |
---|---|---|
111-etc | en | english 123 |
111-etc | de | deutch 123 |
222-etc | en | english 321 |
222-etc | de | deutch 321 |
I want to create a query that has a result of 1 row per main table (table_1) and add extra columns for each lang_code. I’ve managed to create something close to the end result with hard-coded lang_code’s but the _lang table can be dynamic (extra languages) so this is not what I want. The result must be like:
Result:
uuid | code | title-en | title-de |
---|---|---|---|
111-etc | 123 | english 123 | deutch 123 |
222-etc | 321 | english 321 | deutch 321 |
Edit: As image because the layout of the tables seemed to be screwed up
Thanks for the help.

Answer
First, you need to convert your defined row into a column name using stuff and then using pivot to fulfill your requirement.
DECLARE @cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX), @query AS NVARCHAR(MAX) select @cols = STUFF((SELECT ',' + QUOTENAME('title-'+lang_code) from table_1_lang group by lang_code FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') ,1,1,'') print @cols set @query = N'SELECT uuid,code, ' + @cols + N' from ( select t1.uuid,t1.code,concat(''title-'',t2.lang_code) as lang_code,t2.title from table_1 t1 inner join table_1_lang t2 on t1.uuid = t2.uuid ) x pivot ( max(title) for lang_code in (' + @cols + N') ) p ' print @query exec sp_executesql @query;
