Answer 1

SELECT 
    t.Id, tt.Id, t.name, tt.name, t.value, tt.value, t.size, tt.size, t.result, tt.result
FROM YourTable t
INNER JOIN YourTable tt ON tt.Id = t.Id + 1
WHERE tt.Id % 2 = 0

That works for me. Hope it help you.

Please try that if you stil need help.

Declare @TempTable as table (FirstId int, SecondId int null, FirstCaption nvarchar(max), SecondCaption nvarchar(max) null, FirstDescription nvarchar(max), SecondDescription nvarchar(max) null)

DECLARE @TempId int
DECLARE curs CURSOR FOR
SELECT ID FROM Categories
open curs
fetch next from curs into @TempId
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
IF (@TempId % 2 = 1)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @TempTable
SELECT
t.Id, null, t.Caption, null, t.Description, null
FROM categories t
WHERE t.Id = @TempId

    END
ELSE
    BEGIN
        UPDATE @TempTable SET SecondId = t.Id, SecondCaption = t.Caption, SecondDescription = t.Description
        FROM categories t
        INNER JOIN @TempTable tt ON tt.FirstId = @TempId - 1
        WHERE t.Id = @TempId
    END
fetch next from curs into @TempId

end
close curs
deallocate curs

SELECT * FROM @TempTable
