A---- Convention Pivote Table with TSQL:

/** 1 Prepare data holder */

create table #Table1
( RowNum int
, Name varchar(25)

)

/** 2 Load data */
insert into #Table1
( RowNum

/** 5 clean up */
drop table #Table1
go


B --- Normalize table before application starts
B1, Student Table,
B2, Subject Table
B3, Student_Subject_Score table


C --- If not frequently happens, use Excel Pivate table service, it is a
simple way for most office people without programming background.


D-- This thing called Normalization in database design;
called ETL in data warehousing staging;
called Pivote table service in use application (excel).

E-- 1:56, good night.
