Answer 1

This can be done using a recursive CTE:

;WITH CTE_Data as (
    select id=1, name='Anne',[COUNT]=3
    union select id=2, name='Joe',[COUNT]=2
),
CTE_List as (
    select
        id,
        name,
        ind=1
    from CTE_Data
    union all
    select
        l.id,
        l.name,
        ind=ind+1
    from CTE_List l
        join CTE_Data d on l.id = d.id
    where 
        l.ind < d.[count]
)
select id,name from CTE_List
order by id,ind

NOTE: CTE_List is the interesting one, CTE_Data is just the source data for testing.
