Answer 1

It is a pivot table

CREATE TABLE table1 (
  `id` INTEGER,
  `name` VARCHAR(5),
  `value` VARCHAR(3),
  `user_id` INTEGER
);

INSERT INTO table1
  (`id`, `name`, `value`, `user_id`)
VALUES
  ('1', 'foo', '40', '10'),
  ('2', 'bar', '15', '10'),
  ('3', 'baz', '390', '10'),
  ('4', 'quux', 'ENG', '10'),
  ('5', 'waldo', '1', '10'),
  ('6', 'foo', '20', '13'),
  ('7', 'bar', '15', '13'),
  ('8', 'waldo', '1', '13'),
  ('9', 'baz', '0', '13'),
  ('10', 'quux', 'ENG', '13'),
  ('11', 'baz', '420', '15'),
  ('12', 'waldo', '1', '15'),
  ('13', 'bar', '1', '15'),
  ('14', 'foo', '5', '15'),
  ('15', 'quux', 'ENG', '15'),
  ('16', 'waldo', '1', '16'),
  ('17', 'quux', 'ENG', '16'),
  ('18', 'foo', '5', '16'),
  ('19', 'baz', '0', '16'),
  ('20', 'bar', '15', '16');

SET @sql = NULL;
SELECT
  GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT
               CONCAT('MAX(IF(s.name = "', `name`,'", `value`,"")) AS ',name)
              ) INTO @sql
FROM table1;


SET @sql = CONCAT('SELECT s.user_id,  ', @sql, ' 
                  FROM table1 s
                 GROUP BY s.user_id
                 ORDER BY s.user_id');
SELECT @sql;
PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;

user_id | bar | baz | foo | quux | waldo
------: | :-- | :-- | :-- | :--- | :----
     10 | 15  | 390 | 40  | ENG  | 1    
     13 | 15  | 0   | 20  | ENG  | 1    
     15 | 1   | 420 | 5   | ENG  | 1    
     16 | 15  | 0   | 5   | ENG  | 1
