Optimization loading data, too much data then error

Hi, 
i can't solve my problem in the other way.
One of table in my database is very large, but I need only 3 columns of there. In simplification it is OrderKey(required), DataTypeId and Value. 
I need to show it on the table, order and value of each data types in separate columns. I did it on the dashboard, but it's very suboptimal solution. 
I create new column, then:
If (DataTypeId = 1, Value, null()), and i set the label as for example "City"
Next column:
If (DataTypeId =2, Value, null(), the label as for example "Name"
et cetera, et cetera. 
But with more columns (There is about 40 data types Id) I have error (to little memory). 
I want to do it on the load script, but i don't know how. 
I want to create field for example "City" and there load only DataTypeId =1. 
Then on my table i want to add order and columns "City", "Name", et cetera from ready fields. 

Thanks a lot for any solutions. 

Best Regards.

It works! Thank You very much! 
Additional question: 
I don't understand this part of script:

[TMP1]:
GENERIC LOAD * RESIDENT [Data];
[RESULT]:

LOAD DISTINCT BookingItemOrderItemKey RESIDENT [Data];

DROP TABLE [Data];
FOR i = 0 to NoOfTables()



TableList:

LOAD TableName($(i)) AS Tablename AUTOGENERATE 1

WHERE WildMatch(TableName($(i)), 'TMP1.*');

NEXT i
FOR i = 1 to FieldValueCount('Tablename')

LET vTable = FieldValue('Tablename', $(i));

LEFT JOIN ([RESULT]) LOAD * RESIDENT $(vTable);

On the last line I have little problem with the names of mapped values when there having space-key, i have to change it. It may make a problem, because I will try to load the values from other table to the mapping load.  

Could you explain me in simplification what happens in this part of Your script? I don't want just copy and paste script, I would to understand a bit of it. 

Thanks a lot for Your help 🙂

This problem exists for all kinds of applications, however for OLTP. Normally MySQL is rather fast loading data in MyISAM table Prepaid Gift Balance
