Hi Stewart,

This requirement does seem a little odd.
This scenario comes from my file system storage engine when I try to read
files as /proc/meminfo,
I would like it to be transposed, so that MemTotal, MemFree and other would
become columns, then user can
just use the statement as 'select MemTotal from t1'.
Otherwise, there will be only two columns for this file.

What do you think, Stewart?
