SQL Server convert columns to rows

问题

I have a sql table with current value and previous value.

Id  Value1  PValue1 Value2  PValue2
1   A       A       V       V1
2   B       B1      W       W1
3   C       C1      X       X

I want to compare them and display in a the following table if the value has changes.

Id  Column  Value   Pvalue
1   Value2  V       V1
2   Value1  B       B1
2   Value2  W       W1
3   Value1  C       C1

Is it possible in SQL 2008 without looping each column?

You can use a CROSS APPLY to unpivot the data:

SELECT t.id,
  x.Col,
  x.Value,
  x.PValue
FROM YourTable t
CROSS APPLY 
(
    VALUES
        ('Value1', t.Value1, t.PValue1),
        ('Value2', t.Value2, t.PValue2)
) x (Col, Value, PValue)
where x.Value <> x.PValue;

See SQL Fiddle with Demo.

Just because I love using the pivot function, here is a version that uses both the unpivot and the pivot functions to get the result:

select id, 
  colname,
  value,
  pvalue
from
(
  select id, 
    replace(col, 'P', '') colName,
    substring(col, 1, PatIndex('%[0-9]%', col) -1) new_col,  
    val
  from yourtable
  unpivot
  (
    val
    for col in (Value1, PValue1, Value2, PValue2)
  ) unpiv
) src
pivot
(
  max(val)
  for new_col in (Value, PValue)
) piv
where value <> pvalue
order by id

Here is an easy way:

SELECT  Id, 
        'Value1' [Column],
        Value1 Value,
        PValue1 PValue
FROM YourTable
WHERE ISNULL(Value1,'') != ISNULL(PValue1,'')
UNION ALL
SELECT  Id, 
        'Value2' [Column],
        Value2 Value,
        PValue2 PValue
FROM YourTable
WHERE ISNULL(Value2,'') != ISNULL(PValue2,'')

How about using a union:

SELECT * FROM
    (SELECT Id, 'Value1' [Column], Value1 [Value], PValue1 [PValue]
    FROM table_name
    UNION ALL
    SELECT Id, 'Value2' [Column], Value2 [Value], PValue2 [PValue]
    FROM table_name)tmp
WHERE Value != PValue
ORDER BY Id

Finally, and for completeness, there is an UNPIVOT command. However, since you have two columns you want to unpivot, it'd probably be simpler to use one of the other solutions.
