Let's presume you have your destination table (payments) created and your source table is named curr_payments and that you have a sequenve to generate your new payment_id values named payment_seq; the query is fairly simple given the finite number of types you currently have: insert into payments ( PaymentId, InvoiceID, PayoutType, PayoutAmount) select payment_seq.nextval, InvoiceID, PayoutType1, PayoutAmount1 from curr_payments union select payment_seq.currval, InvoiceID, PayoutType2, PayoutAmount2 from curr_payments union select payment_seq.currval, InvoiceID, PayoutType3, PayoutAmount3 from curr_payments; David Fitzjarrell -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Oracle PL/SQL" group.
