I recieve measurements for a product sometimes in inches, sometimes in 
centimeters.

These are stored in table1
int not null primary key, measurement1 int, measurement2 int, type 
varchar(255)

I need to extract data from this table and store it in another table with all 
measurements converted to inches.

insert into table2 select from table1 no, measurement1+0.625, 
measurement2+0.063, 'Style';

Would it be possible to have a field in table1 that indicates centimeters or 
inches and modify the insert statement to check this field and divide 
everything by 2.54 before adding and inserting? If this is possible how would 
I do it I can't quite make it work.
