I’m using MS-Access. I have a table A looks like :
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.
