    To easily transpose columns into rows with its names you should use XML. In my blog I was described this solution with example:

    It doesn't appear to be the XML that does the trick there. It's the dynamic SQL that does it. Why is that any better than just plain old dynamic SQL driving a Cross Apply?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
