PIVOT syntax:
SELECT ..... FROM pivoted_table pivoted_table ::= table_source PIVOT <pivot_clause> table_alias table_source ::= table,view, sub-query,XML......, 即SQL语句From关键字后可以跟的所有东西，定义太复杂，这里就不写了 pivot_clause ::=( aggregate_function ( value_column )FOR pivot_column
IN ( <column_list> )
)
UNPIVOT syntax: SELECT ..... FROM unpivoted_table unpivoted_table ::= table_source UNPIVOT <unpivot_clause> table_alias table_source ::= Table, view, sub-query, XML..., 即SQL语句From关键字后可以跟的所有东西，定义太复杂，这里就不写了 unpivot_clause ::= ( value_column FOR pivot_column IN ( <column_list> ) )
