1           AAA          AAA             21     Address of AAA     aaa@mycompany.com
2           BBB          BBB             25     Address of BBB     bbb@mycompany.com
3           CCC          CCC             28     Address of CCC     ccc@mycompany.com

This sort of DB design is always a nightmare. Can you change it ? It's a common antipattern.

Solution 1

SQL

SELECT u.UserId, UserName, DisplayName,
(SELECT u2.Value FROM [User Profile] u2 WHERE u2.Property="Age" AND u2.UserId = u.UserId) AS Age,
(SELECT u3.Value FROM [User Profile] u3 WHERE u3.Property="Address" AND u3.UserId = u.UserId) AS Address,
(SELECT u4.Value FROM [User Profile] u4 WHERE u4.Property="Email" AND u4.UserId = u.UserId) AS Email
FROM User u

Solution 2

Try:

SQL

SELECT u.[UserId], u.[UserName], u.[DisplayName], pa.Value as Age, pd.Value as Address, pe.Value as Email FROM [User] u
JOIN UserProfile pa ON pa.UserId=u.USerId AND pa.Property='Age'
JOIN UserProfile pd ON pd.UserId=u.USerId AND pd.Property='Address'
JOIN UserProfile pe ON pe.UserId=u.USerId AND pe.Property='Email'
