I'm really curious about the correct answer to this question. My solution (if it would be required to be in SQL) would be to first query the maximum amount of children per parent, than create a temporary table with the amount of columns, than use a cursor to fill the temporary table.

Solution 1

SQL

Select Parent.Pid,Parent.Pname,Parent.Pemail,
       Left(Main.Child,Len(Main.Child)-1) As "ChildValues"
From(Select distinct Child2.SubjectID,
           (Select Child1.Cname AS [text()]
            From dbo.Child Child1
            Where Child1.Pid = Child2.Pid
            ORDER BY Child1.Pid
            For XML PATH ('')) [Child]
     From dbo.Child Child2) [Main]
