Hi,

I need help on this simple query. I need to get the alternate rows into horizontal columns. I have provided the data and output format.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Reddy.

Output Format:
-------------
DESCRIPTION LINE VALUE LINE VALU
TESTINGA100 A100 8768 A110 23
TESTING120 A120 2314 A130 87
TESTING140 A140 4568 A150 3

Create Table:
create table testLINE
(Linitem varchar(5), description varchar(20), value float)
Data:
insert into testLINE
values ('A100','TESTINGA100',8768)
insert into testLINE
values ('A110','TESTINGA1',23)
insert into testLINE
values ('A120','TESTINGA120',2314)
insert into testLINE
values ('A130','TESTINGA13',87)
insert into testLINE
values ('A140','TESTING140',4568)
insert into testLINE
values ('A150','TESTING115',3)
