[sql] Unpivot with column name

You may also try standard sql un-pivoting method by using a sequence of logic with the following code.. The following code has 3 steps:

  1. create multiple copies for each row using cross join (also creating subject column in this case)
  2. create column "marks" and fill in relevant values using case expression ( ex: if subject is science then pick value from science column)
  3. remove any null combinations ( if exists, table expression can be fully avoided if there are strictly no null values in base table)

     select *
     from 
     (
        select name, subject,
        case subject
        when 'Maths' then maths
        when 'Science' then science
        when 'English' then english
        end as Marks
    from studentmarks
    Cross Join (values('Maths'),('Science'),('English')) AS Subjct(Subject)
    )as D
    where marks is not null;
