Suppose we have a (assume relational) source table Product_Id Month Sale

s 1 Jan x 1 Feb x . . . . . . 1 Dec x 2 Jan x 2 Feb x . . . . . . 2 Dec x 3 Jan
x 3 Feb x . . . . . . 3 Dec x . . . . . . and so on. Assume that there could
be any number of product keys and for each product key the sales figures (denote
d by 'x' are stored for each of the 12 months from Jan to Dec). So we want the r
esult in the target table in the following form. Product_id Jan Feb March.. Dec
1 x x x x 2 x x x x 3 x x x x . . So how will you design the ETL mapping for thi
s case, explain in terms of transformations.
