How to to select two columns (Name, Value) and return as single result? - sql

Question

So I have a table that has a column for Name, and a column for Value and an ID. There can be multiple rows for the same ID. I would like to create a select that will return a single row for each ID and the values in the Name column would be the column name, and the Value would be the value. Example:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Attribute
(
AttributeID int NOT NULL,
Name varchar(20) NOT NULL,
Value varchar(20) NOT NULL
) ;
Data:
{1,"Color", "Blue"},{1,"Material", "leather"}
Would like Select to return:
[AttributeID:1, Color:Blue, Material: leather]
I have been playing with PIVOT and UNPIVOT but not getting what I need.

Thanks to #Mihai's link. I was able to do what I
DECLARE #cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
#query AS NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET #cols = STUFF((SELECT distinct ',' + QUOTENAME(c.Name)
FROM VariantAttribute c
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,1,1,'')
set #query = 'SELECT variantid, ' + #cols + ' from
(
select variantid
, Name
, value
from VariantAttribute
) x
pivot
(
max([Value])
for Name in (' + #cols + ')
) p '
execute(#query)
Before I get more slack about how I am storing this data. There is not a way out of it at the moment, but this query is to push this data to Azure Search (uses Elastic search) to be able to easily search on this data.
