   Hi all ,

        Again I am stuck in a very different type of stage.

        Let suppose I have a Table which have only 3 fields i.e. Name, Subject and Marks

        This table will contain only 1 record, i.e.

  Name      Subject       Marks

  Raj          Maths          99

   

  Now I wants to create another temp table which have only 2 fields i.e. ColName and ColValue

  I want to Insert record in this table like

  ColName              ColValue

  Name                  Raj

  Subject                Maths

  Marks                   99

   

  Please help me out

  Raj

  You aren't the first to have fun with this, have a look at some of the responses in:

  http://www.sqlservercentral.com/forums/shwmessage.aspx?forumid=8&messageid=258150#bm258223

  and see if any of those responses help.

  If you are prepared to do this manually and there is not a lot of data, you can use excel.

  Select a row, copy it into excel using paste special / transpose and it transposes it for you.
