I’m a newbie at MS Access and need some help. I have a table that looks like this:
ID | HDD | CDD | HDDKEY | CDDKEY |
---|---|---|---|---|
186 | -1 | -1 | 1 | 5 |
and would like the following:
ID | HDD | CDD | KEY |
---|---|---|---|
186 | -1 | 0 | 1 |
186 | 0 | -1 | 5 |
My code -that does not work:
SELECT TABL1.ID, TABL1.HDD, TABL1.CDD, 'KEY' = HDDKEY FROM TABL1 UNION ALL SELECT TABL1.ID, TABL1.HDD, TABL1.CDD, 'KEY' = CDDKEY FROM TABL1 WHERE (((TABL.ID)=18676));``` Thank you!

Answer
You are close
SELECT TABL1.ID, TABL1.HDD, 0 AS CDD, HDDKEY as [Key] FROM TABL1 WHERE ID = 186 UNION ALL SELECT TABL1.ID, 0 AS HDD, TABL1.CDD, CDDKEY as [Key] FROM TABL1 WHERE ID = 186;
Note that KEY
is a poor name for a column because it is a SQL keyword.
