Transpose Tables Using SQL

Question

Hi Guys
I am having a bit of a delimma and am wondering if there is someone out there that could suggest how i could write a SQL statement that would alow me to return data in a certain way,
I have data as follows...
FIrst problemi is the Date in the LogDate COlumn is of Text Type not Date..
Second problem is i need to take this data and transform it to look like the table below
RCDID     EmployeeID     LogDate     LogTime     TerminalID     InOut
41     1      07/23/2006     20:45:02     iGuard#      IN
42     1      07/23/2006     20:46:17     iGuard#      OUT
43     1      07/23/2006     20:48:08     iGuard#      IN
44     1      07/23/2006     20:48:18     iGuard#      OUT
45     1      07/23/2006     20:48:24     iGuard#      IN
46     1      07/23/2006     20:48:30     iGuard#      OUT
47     1      07/23/2006     20:48:36     iGuard#      IN
48     1      07/23/2006     20:48:41     iGuard#      OUT
50     1      07/23/2006     20:49:57     iGuard#      IN
51     1      07/23/2006     20:50:14     iGuard#      OUT
52     1      07/23/2006     20:59:34     iGuard#      IN
53     1      07/23/2006     20:59:40     iGuard#      OUT
Employee ID     Date     In     Out     In      Out     TotalTimeIn
1     23/07/2006     20:35     20:36     20:38     20:39     00:02
Basicaly i need to transpose it..
If anyone has the sql or knows the sql on how to do this i would be very greatful

I have an example too. I don't think George will come back but I've already built it :)
CREATE TABLE TESTING (RCDID NUMBER, EMPLOYEE_ID NUMBER, LOG_DATE DATE, LOG_TIME CHAR(8), TERMINALID VARCHAR2(15), INOUT CHAR(3));
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (41, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:45:02', 'iGuard#', 'IN');
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (42, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:46:17', 'iGuard#', 'OUT');
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (43, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:48:08', 'iGuard#', 'IN');
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (44, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:48:18', 'iGuard#', 'OUT');
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (45, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:48:24', 'iGuard#', 'IN');
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (46, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:48:30', 'iGuard#', 'OUT');
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (47, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:48:36', 'iGuard#', 'IN');
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (48, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:48:41', 'iGuard#', 'OUT');
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (50, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:49:57', 'iGuard#', 'IN');
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (51, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:50:14', 'iGuard#', 'OUT');
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (52, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:59:34', 'iGuard#', 'IN');
INSERT INTO TESTING VALUES (53, 1, TO_DATE('07/23/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '20:59:40', 'iGuard#', 'OUT');
create or replace view v_testing as select rcdid, EMPLOYEE_ID employeeid,
to_date(to_char(log_date, 'mm/dd/yyyy')||' '||log_time, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') logdate, TERMINALID, INOUT
from TESTING;
select EmployeeID, trunc(login) row_date, login, logout from
(select EmployeeID, LogDate login, lead(LogDate) over (partition by EmployeeID
order by LogDate) logout, inout
from v_testing where InOut in ('IN', 'OUT'))
where inout='IN' order by EmployeeID, login, logout;
