Question

I have this table:

Id Kind
1  MODEL
1  MOTOR
2  MODEL
2  MOTOR
3  MOTOR
4  MODEL

And I want to insert into anothe table:

IdModel IdMotor
1       1
1       2
1       3
2       1
2       2
2       3
4       1
4       2
4       3

I know how to do it with cursors, but it’s indeed very slow. I’ve tried with union but it looks like today is not my best day!

I also know this can be done in SQL 2005 with pivot, but I have to do it with SQL Server 2000.

Any Transact-SQL guru out there with a good and quick query?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Looks like this will work:

INSERT Table2
SELECT model.id, motor.id
FROM
    Table model,
    Table motor
WHERE
    model.Kind = 'MODEL'
    and motor.Kind = 'MOTOR'
