When such operation is there, it's suggestible to do at DB level when you already have commands to do it.

At SQL level, PIVOT can be used. If for some reason you don't want it, then you need to create two for loops for two datatables and then copy column data of first table into rows of second. Do it for all. Just like you read column to row, you need to move the data from column to row. Use the datatable with shifted data.
