A question for the SQL Gurus-
Source data comes from OLTP system- Database table or Flat file source data comes to us like the below i.e.: 3 cols- ssn, ref_no, ref_amt
For each ssn, we can have up to 20 different ref_no and the amount in 20 rows in the source file-

ssn ref_no ref_amt
--- ------ -------
1 101 20
1 201 22
1 301 33
1 401 44
2 101 10
2 200 15

To insert into OLAP system - Looking for a solution using SQL SELECT/INSERT statement logic, to load data into a Target table with 20 columns for each of these ref numbers for the same ssn. Simply put- I would like to insert the above records into Target db table like this below-

ssn ref_no1 ref_amt1 ref_no2 ref_amt2 ref_no3 ref_amt3 ref_no4 ref_amt4
--- ------- -------- ------- -------- ------- --------- ------- --------
1 101 20 201 22 301 33 401 44
2 101 10 200 15

Any knowhow sharing knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
