    amazing problem

    Hi Gurus,

    I am sgoogling and askTom for quite a while and I cannot find a good solution for my kind of problem.

    I have a table with a couple of rows, sometimes more sometimes less, the table will be created from a csv file using sqlloader.

    My problem is:
    PHP Code:
    from this table
    __________________________________________________________________________________________
    |       id    |    mon1        |    mon2    |    mon3    |    mon4    |    mon5    |
    |
    _________________________________________________________________________________________
    |    1    |    1        |    2    |    5    |    2    |    1    |
    |
    _________________________________________________________________________________________
    |    2    |    1        |    2    |    5    |    7    |    2    |
    |
    _________________________________________________________________________________________



    --> 
    all values should inserted into a new table: (these are routes from 1 point to another)

    |
    Aid  |   mob1_id   |   mob2_id       |
    |
    _____________________________|
    1    |      1       |       2              |
    ______________________________|
    1    |      2        |       5             |
    _______________________________
    1    |       5       |       2             |
    |
    _____________________________|
    |  
    1   |       2       |        1            |
    |
    _____________________________
    in words: just split each row in each colum and but it in the new table.


    I have already written a lot of code but nothing works..
    Maybe one of you had a similar problem.

    Help or a tipp would really be great...I am getting mad...


    THX a lot.

    PHP Code:
    Select idmon1mon2 From MyTable
    UNION
    Select id
    mon2mon3 From MyTable
    UNION
    Select id

    Hello,

    thanks for your hint, but it's not working the way I need it.
    because the amount of values in the table1 is not always the same...sometimes there are 3, 5, or 7 values or more in a single row...


    --------
    Table1:
    --------
    1 mon1 mon2 mon5 mon2 mon1
    2 mon1 mon2 mon3 mon4 mon6 mon1 mon2 mon1
    3 mon1 mon5 mon1



    ---------
    Table2: |
    ----------
    1 mon1 mon2
    1 mon2 mon5
    1 mon5 mon2
    1 mon2 mon1

    2 mon1 mon2
    2 mon2 mon3
    2 mon3 mon4
    2 mon4 mon6
    2 mon6 mon2
    2 mon2 mon1



    then the union command does not work...

    any other suggestions...
    Thx...
    Petra.

    a row contains sometimes 4, sometimes 5, or 3, 6,7,8 values.

    As mentioned above this is not because of a bad design.
    A short explanation:
    these values are just objects of different routes - some routes have only 3 monizoring objects, another 4, or 5...etc.
    As soon as 1 route failed - every 10 minutes a token is send - the result is the route where the token has been failed.

    e.g. mon1 --> mon2 --> mon5 --> mon1

    no amount of programming will overcome a bad design.

    Oh, thanks for that answer, but this is not based on a BAD Design.

    Can you post the table creation statement and rows insert ?
    That may help to understand the problem.
