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

If you try this solution and get a syntax error try setting the compatability mode of your database via

ALTER DATABASE myDatabase SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 90;

This will set the compatability to SQLServer 2005 and the above queries will execute w/o a syntax error.
