MS SQL - Output to columns equally.
I am trying to convert input data like this:
1000
1001
1002
1003
1004
1005
This will be in a Stored Procedure.
So far, I am dividing the number of results to see:
6 Nodes / 4 = 1 full row.
I do 2 options for output. I either have the data in the 4 columns, or I assign a column identity to it such as C1R1, C2R1
The end output from this is actually a print file and the columns need to fill them in this fashion when there are 6 or 600 items.
1000
1001
1002
1003
1004
1005
then output as:
C1 C2 C3 C4
1000 1002 1004 1005
1001 1003
This will be in a Stored Procedure.

Is it fair to assume that the input data coming in is always in numeric order? So, to extend your example with more rows, will we always get this kind of data?
1000
1001
1002
1003
1004
1005
1006
1007
1008
1009
1010
1011
We won't get smaller numbers coming after larger ones, right? Assuming the above assumption is correct, is it also correct that you want to see the numbers above parsed into rows in the following way?
1000
1001
1002
1003
1004
1005
1006
1007

egarrison, do you still need help with this question?

Great logic. I ended up using a slightly modified version of this. Thanks.
( row_number() over ( order by colum ) -1) / 4
will return 4 riws with the same value...
