If you use sql server 2005,

Code Snippet

Create Table #data (

[R_Id] Varchar(100) ,

[Name] Varchar(100) ,

[Q1] Varchar(100) ,

[Q2] Varchar(100) ,

[Q3] Varchar(100) ,

[Q4] Varchar(100) ,

[Q5] Varchar(100)

);

Insert Into #data Values('M001','Mike','a','b','c','d','e');

Insert Into #data Values('J001','John','a','b','c','d','e');

Insert Into #data Values('P001','Peter','a','b','c','d','e');

Select

R_Id

,Name

,Question_id

,Question

From

#Data

UNPIVOT

(

Question For Question_idin

([Q1],[Q2],[Q3],[Q4],[Q5])

) UPVT

Assuming you are using SQL 2005, you need to use the UNPIVOT operator.

The code will be something like this:

Code Snippet

DECLARE @.MyTable table
( R_Id varchar(10),
Name varchar(20),
Q1 char(1),
Q2 char(1),
Q3 char(1),
Q4 char(1),
Q5 char(1)
)

INSERT INTO @.MyTable VALUES ( 'M001', 'Mike', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' )
INSERT INTO @.MyTable VALUES ( 'J001', 'John', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' )
INSERT INTO @.MyTable VALUES ( 'P001', 'Peter', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' )

SELECT
R_ID,
Name,
Question
FROM @.MyTable
UNPIVOT
( Question FOR Response
IN ( Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 )
) unPvt

R_ID Name Question Response
- -- --
M001 Mike Q1 a
M001 Mike Q2 b
M001 Mike Q3 c
M001 Mike Q4 d
M001 Mike Q5 e
J001 John Q1 a
J001 John Q2 b
J001 John Q3 c
J001 John Q4 d
J001 John Q5 e
P001 Peter Q1 a
P001 Peter Q2 b
P001 Peter Q3 c
P001 Peter Q4 d
P001 Peter Q5 e
