SQL Server 2005, turn columns into rows

Question

I am trying to turn a table 90 degrees: make columns rows. No PIVOT is allowed since PIVOT requires aggregate functions.

Example: I have a table with the columns

Answer 1

I found the solution as the following:

SELECT 
    ID, DE, EN
FROM 
    TextTable 
PIVOT(MAX([text]) FOR ISO IN (DE,EN)) p

It's possible to use PIVOT with MAX aggregating function over the text.
