Ah - a nice tricky one!  

The explanation can be lengthy. The solution involves use of decode. The best advice I can give is to refer you to the chapter on Decode in the Koch / Loney Oracle Press book ('Oracle Complete Reference'). The chapter is entitled 'DECODE - Amazing Power in a Single Word'.

I am looking for a way to display rows as columns. For example:

Id         name    value
1          a          5
1          b          10
2          a          15
2          b          20
 
I need it as:
name    1          2
a          5         15
            b          10         20
 

Thank you in advance
Sergei.
