It can't be don this way. What you can get is:

ID   name  age  salary  skills
101  kailsh  20  12000  tester
101  kailsh  20  12000  develper
101  kailsh  20  12000  QC analyst

But you better split the data in two tables: normalize!

no need to repeat once again their names i just want to split the skills column data to different rows

I understand, but you can't do that! It does not fit into the relational model. If you want to hide those fields you have to do it in your presentation layer. The result has to be the same if order is scrambled. Imagine what will happen with the data in your way.

Have a look at the solutions here split string column into multiple records[^] - note that the one I posted didn't work with VS2005 but there are a couple of other ideas there

Than simply replace the comma with newline and make you report to enable multiline cells.
