Answer 1

This is an unpivot operation. You can do what you want with a union all :

select EmpNo, Location, Period1 as period, Value1 as Value
from data
union all
select EmpNo, Location, Period2 as period, Value2 as Value
from data
union all
select EmpNo, Location, Period3 as period, Value3 as Value
from data;

Some databases have direct support for unpivot as well as other methods for doing it. However, the above is ANSI standard SQL.
