SELECT gedenormaliseerde kolommen in afzonderlijke records?

select 
       if(t1.c > 1, concat(e.employeename, ' (', e.employeeid, ')'), e.employeename) as Employee,
       replace(substring(substring_index(e.EmailAddresses, ',', n.row), length(substring_index(e.EmailAddresses, ',', n.row - 1)) + 1), ',', '') EmailAddress 
from 
       (select employeename, count(*) as c from Employees group by employeename) as t1, 
       (select EmployeeID, length(EmailAddresses) - length(replace(EmailAddresses,',','')) + 1 as emails from Employees) as t2,
       (SELECT @row := @row + 1 as row FROM 
       (select 0 union all select 1 union all select 3 union all select 4 union all select 5 union all select 6 union all select 6 union all select 7 union all select 8 union all select 9) x,
