based on my other answer:
test=*# select * from (
select
id,
coalesce((array_accum(name))[1],'---') as name1,
coalesce((array_accum(name))[2],'---') as name2,
coalesce((array_accum(name))[3],'---') as name3
from joshua
group by id
order by id) foo;
id | name1 | name2 | name3
----+-------+-------+-------
1 | user1 | user2 | user3
2 | user4 | user5 | ---
3 | user6 | --- | ---
(3 rows)
