How to change columns to rows

I have a need to change the columns in a table to rows with values
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Test] Script Date: 5/23/2006 6:39:49 AM
******/
if not exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id =
object_id(N'[dbo].[Test]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE [Test] (
[UserID] [int] NULL ,
[NurseID] [int] NULL ,
[NurseID2] [int] NULL ,
[NurseID3] [int] NULL ,
[ReceptionID] [int] NULL ,
[OfficemanID] [int] NULL ,
[NurseTrainID] [int] NULL ,
[ResidentTrainID] [int] NULL ,
[ResidentTrainID2] [int] NULL ,
[ResidentTrainID3] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
END
Insert into test
(UserID, NurseID,NurseID2, ReceptionID, OfficemanID)
values
(1,3,9,4,7)
Select * from Test would give
UserID NurseID, NurseID2
1 3 9
and I need to transform to using SQL2000
Description Users
UserID 1
NurseID 3
NurseID2 9
I may not need the description column
Thanks for the help
Stephen K. MiyasatoHi Stephen,
2005 allows using UNPIVOT clause. Not sure about 2000 though..

In this case, I think you'll just have to use a series of UNION ALL
statements to transform the data, as in:
select
'UserID' as Description,
UserID as Users
from test
UNION ALL
select
'NurseID' as Description,
NurseID as Users
from test
UNION ALL
select
'NurseID2' as Description,
NurseID2 as Users
from test|||If you were using SQL Server 2005, you could use an UNPIVOT statement.
