[Feature Request]: DBeaver "Record View" equivalent (transpose of columns and rows) #20767

Feature Description

Problem statement:

It's always a struggle to navigate through a query result with a large amount of columns in the result set.
You need to either select a subset of columns or horizontally scroll through the results.

Feature description:

Record view equivalent like in DBeaver (transpose of a couple of records, showing column names as rows and values as columns)

The table view is a standard table (Excel-like) in which columns are vertical and rows are horizontal. This view is the default one.

I'd like the option for the rows and columns to switch positions. So to transpose the result set.
The columns will appear as rows, and the rows will be hidden in one Value column which will show only one row of data. The column headers will shift from the top of the table to its left side. See additional context for more info.

Alternatives:

Copy a record with headers to excel and transpose results

Problem and Motivation

It's always a struggle to navigate through a query result with a large amount of columns in the result set.
You need to either select a subset of columns or horizontally scroll through the results.

With this feature, I could more easily explore the columns that are available in the resultset.
