I have done this excercise, as I have people management in the
database.

If tabulated-list-entries is ⇒ ((320295 ["320295" "Boruch  Baum" "Emacs Users"]))

Then this below is what I get when invoking: (buffer-substring (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)):

#(" 320295   Boruch  Baum                             Emacs Users" 0 1 (tabulated-list-id 320295 tabulated-list-entry ["320295" "Boruch  Baum" "Emacs Users"]) 1 7 (help-echo "ID: 320295" tabulated-list-column-name "ID" tabulated-list-id 320295 tabulated-list-entry ["320295" "Boruch  Baum" "Emacs Users"]) 7 8 (tabulated-list-column-name "ID" tabulated-list-id 320295 tabulated-list-entry ["320295" "Boruch  Baum" "Emacs Users"]) 8 10 (display (space :align-to 10) tabulated-list-column-name "ID" tabulated-list-id 320295 tabulated-list-entry ["320295" "Boruch  Baum" "Emacs Users"]) 10 22 (help-echo "Name: Boruch  Baum" tabulated-list-column-name "Name" tabulated-list-id 320295 tabulated-list-entry ["320295" "Boruch  Baum" "Emacs Users"]) 22 23 (tabulated-list-column-name "Name" tabulated-list-id 320295 tabulated-list-entry ["320295" "Boruch  Baum" "Emacs Users"]) 23 51 (display (space :align-to 51) tabulated-list-column-name "Name" tabulated-list-id 320295 tabulated-list-entry ["320295" "Boruch  Baum" "Emacs Users"]) 51 62 (help-echo "Account: Emacs Users" tabulated-list-column-name "Account" tabulated-list-id 320295 tabulated-list-entry ["320295" "Boruch  Baum" "Emacs Users"]))
