Hi all,

Currently I have a requirement where I need to create 2 more output rows using each result row.

In my requirement I am populating charges table with types of charges, on each line item of charges, I need to apply 2 types of taxes and populate it along with the charge line item. I will be storing charges in table charges and the 2 taxes to be applied in taxes table respectively. For each row of charges, i need to apply these 2 taxes present in taxes table resulting in 3 rows output.

--Create tables charges 
create table charges
(
charge_type varchar2(10) ,
charge number
);

--Create table taxes
create table taxes
(
tax_type varchar2(10) ,
tax_percentage number
);

--Populate charges table
Insert into charges values('charge1', '100');
Insert into charges values('charge2', '200');
commit;

--Populate taxes table
Insert into taxes values('tax1', '10');
Insert into taxes values('tax2', '20');
commit;


My expected output should be like below:
 
Item_type            amount          
-------------------- ---------- 
charge1               100       
Charge1_tax1          10        
Charge1_tax2          20        
charge2               200       
Charge2_tax1          20        
Charge2_tax2          40        


Can anyone help me how I can achieve the expected output using a single sql query

Hi, welcome to OraFaq.
Thanks for supplying a test case and expected results (it's a rare thing, so thanks)

Why? There doesn't appear to be anything in your data that will allow a database to connect the two collections of information. Also, where do the values for Charge2_tax1 and Charge2_Tax2 come from?

Charge2_tax1 and Charge2_tax2 came from combining charge_type column from charges table and tax_type column from taxes as I need to apply 2 taxes on same charge and show in the output along with the actual charge.

Combining? Combining in what way? Your requirements need to be much clearer. Also, you did not answer my first question.

I have a feeling that, in attempting to simplify your requirements, you have, in fact, oversimplified them.

BTW, NUMBER datatype should NOT be enclosed in single quote marks.

what should results from sample data like below?

--Populate charges table
Insert into charges values('charge1', 100);
Insert into charges values('charge2', 200);
Insert into charges values('charge3', 300);
Insert into charges values('charge4', 400);
commit;

--Populate taxes table
Insert into taxes values('tax1', 10);
Insert into taxes values('tax2', 20);
Insert into taxes values('tax3', 30);
Insert into taxes values('tax4', 40);
commit;
