Answer 1

mmm.. EAVS...Beyond the obvious suggestions of actually implementing a design, you can achieve what you want like so:

Select Min( Case When name = 'fname' Then value End ) As fname
    , Min( Case When name = 'lname' Then value End ) As lname
    , Min( Case When name = 'city' Then value End ) As city
From MyTable
Group By Id
