  Please decide by yourself which option is easier to read....

  DECLARE @tbl TABLE

  (

  id INT, name VARCHAR(30)

  )

  INSERT INTO @tbl SELECT 1 ,'x'

  -- option a

  SELECT 'id' AS col1,CAST(id AS VARCHAR(30)) AS col2 FROM @tbl

  UNION ALL

  SELECT 'name',name FROM @tbl

  -- option b

  SELECT col1,col2

  FROM

  (SELECT CAST(id AS VARCHAR(30)) AS id,name

  FROM @tbl

  ) p

  UNPIVOT

  (col2 FOR col1 IN

  (id,name)

  )AS unpvt
