Rotating tables

The issue of tables too broad to fit into one page led me to search for a solution to the issue, rotating the tables. Here is a simple recipe, and note that "pdflatex" appears to be compatible with rotating (at least, I was able to get it to work).
An example:

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{rotating}
[some text...]
\begin{sidewaystable}
[body of table; can include \begin{tabular}]
\end{sidewaystable}
