oracle - How to categorize several columns in one statement in SQL/PLSQL -
i've got table 20 columns categorize like;
0-25 --> 1 25-50 --> 2 50-75 --> 3 75-100 --> 4
i prefer not use 20 case ... when statements. knows how more dynamically & efficiently? can sql or pl/sql.
i tried pl/sql, didn't see simple method use column names variables.
many thanks.

your example bit confusing, assuming want put value categories, function width_bucket
might after:
something this:
with sample_data ( select trunc(dbms_random.value(1,100)) val dual connect level < 10 ) select val, width_bucket(val, 0, 100, 4) category sample_data;
this assign numbers 1-4 (random) values sample_data. 0, 100
defines range build buckets, , final parameter 4
says in how many (equally wide) buckets should distributed. result of function bucket value val
fall.
