1.take backup of the table.
2.create new table with vertical model
3.then you need to remap the old data to new model

in this step you will face some diffucilty.
I will try to post some easy solutions for you later on.

If you have some examples it will be more than great!!
My biggest problem is that i do not know what to do because everytime when i import data i will not know how many columns there will come.. First i try to great many union gueryes.. but it is impossible to handle.. or atleast it is very difficult..and not very practical...
