Scripting the Import of records from one table to another within same database.

[Jarvis]

Is it possible to import records from one table into another?

 

I have a database that I use to manage work orders at my cabinet shop.

The database has two related tables.

 

 

Much like a grocery store the first table contains all the possible ingredients of anything we might sell to any customer that comes in the door.

The second table pulls data from the first table according to what the customer actually did buy.

 

The first table has three fields.

CATEGORY ::: PART ::: PROCESS

This table contains all the thinks we sell and all of the processes it takes to produce them.

 

Typical field  values might be:

 

CATEGORY:  Sink Base

PART:  Plam Floor

PROCESS:  Detail Sand Plam

 

The second table contains these same fields but also includes the fields: CUSTOMER NAME ::: PRIORITY ::: STATUS  ::: WORKER ASSIGNMENT.

 

How would I script the importation of data from one table to another?
