I’m using MS-Access. I have a table A looks like :
x
id isin typ1 typ2
1 aa typA typB
2 bb typD typC
I need to insert into a table B that looks like:
id isin fld value
1 aa typ1 typA
2 aa typ2 typB
3 bb typ1 typD
4 bb typ2 typC
Can I do it with an SQL instruction?

Answer
If the id
field in table B is an Autonumber and ordering of the values is important, then you can use
insert into B (isin, fld, [value])
SELECT isin, fld, [value] from
(select isin, "typ1" as fld, typ1 as [value] from A
union all
select isin, "typ2" as fld, typ2 from A) as R
order by isin, fld
keep in mind that the value
field name is a reserved keyword in MS Access.
