Unlocking SQL Efficiency: Extracting Valuable Data from String Columns with CTEs and Lateral Joins
Here is the code that solves the problem: WITH cte AS ( SELECT ordrnbr, (NR-1)/2 N, MIN(NR) NR1, MAX(NR) NR2, CASE WHEN NR % 2 = 1 THEN elem END Nkey, CASE WHEN NR % 2 = 0 THEN elem END NVval, description FROM test t LEFT JOIN lateral unnest(string_to_array(t.description, '@')) WITH ORDINALITY AS a(elem, nr) ON TRUE GROUP BY ordrnbr, (NR-1)/2 ) SELECT ordrnbr, NKEY, NVval FROM cte WHERE NVval > 0; This code uses a Common Table Expression (CTE) to first split the string into key-value pairs.
