Hi Guys,
I have the following table:

Name Value rang salary
------------------------------------
name1 value1 1 2500
name2 value2 2 2600
name3 value 3 3 300

and want to obtain the following result:

name1 name2 name3
------------------------------------
value1 value2 value3
1 2 3
2500 2600 300

what should i do ? I read about the crosstab function in postgresql but
still have no idea on how to use it to solve this problem.
Any help would be appreciated
Regards
