No, it can't, that produces this:
SQL> Select Name from name_qty
2 Union all
3 Select Quantity from name_qty
4 /
Select Name from name_qty
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01790: expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression
because the data types do not match. Of course we can change the query a
bit and still not get what you think you'll get:
SQL> Select Name from name_qty
2 Union all
3 Select to_char(Quantity) from name_qty
4 /
NAME
----------------------------------------
COL_A
COL_B
COL_C
5000
3000
3000
6 rows selected.
SQL>
There is no translation from rows to columns with your example. Let's try
a real pivot query and see what we get:
SQL> column namelist new_value n_list noprint
SQL>
SQL> select wm_concat(''''||name||'''') namelist
2 from name_qty
3 connect by nocycle name = prior name
4 group by level;
SQL>
SQL> select *
2 from
3 (select name, quantity
4 from name_qty nq
5 )
6 pivot
7 (
8 sum(quantity)
9 for name in (&n_list)
10 );
'COL_A' 'COL_C' 'COL_B'
---------- ---------- ----------
5000 3000 3000
SQL>
SQL> insert all
2 into name_qty
3 values('COL_D', 5000)
4 into name_qty
5 values('COL_E', 3000)
6 into name_qty
7 values('COL_F', 3000)
8 select * From dual;
3 rows created.
SQL>
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL>
SQL> select wm_concat(''''||name||'''') namelist
2 from name_qty
3 connect by nocycle name = prior name
4 group by level;
SQL>
SQL> select *
2 from
3 (select name, quantity
4 from name_qty nq
5 )
6 pivot
7 (
8 sum(quantity)
9 for name in (&n_list)
10 );
'COL_A' 'COL_F' 'COL_E' 'COL_D' 'COL_C' 'COL_B'
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
5000 3000 3000 5000 3000 3000
SQL>
Now we have translation. A UNION simply won't work.
