Answer 1

you need to generate all the dates. i did this here by using a cte. i then join this date range with your data and receive the sought result.

with DateRange AS
(
    SELECT CAST('1/27/2014' as DATEtime) DateValue
     UNION ALL
    SELECT dateadd(dd,1,DateValue)
      FROM DateRange
     WHERE dateadd(dd,1,DateValue) <= CAST('3/31/2014' as datetime)
)
select name
     , DateValue
  from Employees
  join DateRange
    on start <= DateValue
   and [end] >= datevalue
 order by 
       name
     , DateValue

outdated after your updated question i would go about it with a simple union:

select Name
     , Start
  from Employees 
 where Start >= '1/27/2014' 
   and End <= '1/31/2014'
 union all
select Name
     , End
  from Employees 
 where Start >= '1/27/2014' 
   and End <= '1/31/2014'
 order by
       Name

First, create the table as -

USE `Test`;
CREATE  TABLE `test`.`Tbl_Sample_Data` (
  `Name` VARCHAR(50) NULL ,    
  `Start` DATETIME NULL ,
  `End` DATETIME NULL );

Insert rows using -

INSERT INTO `test`.`tbl_sample_data`
(`End`,
`Name`,
`Start`)
VALUES
(
'PutEndDateHere',
'PutNameHere',
'PutStartDateHere'
);

Here, dates should be in yyyy-MM-dd format, otherwise you get error 1292.

Use this query to get what you want.

SELECT `Name`,'Start' AS colName, `Start` AS value FROM test.tbl_sample_data
UNION ALL
SELECT `Name`,'End' AS colName, `End` AS value FROM test.tbl_sample_data
ORDER BY `Name` ASC

Note that column names whose name is the same as a keyword must be enclosed in backticks. Eg. Example Name. Otherwise, you get error.
