Hi Guys,here is my story.

I have a table with values stored in it and the Code Column contains sets of values that need to be mapped to a single value.For example i want the values ALMW,ARBAC to map to AL ARB and the values ARBIT,ARBOP,ARBSC to map to CU ARB and A1JAN,A1FEB,A1MAR,A1APR,A1MAY,A1JUN should map to AL AVG.

The values under Code are already in a database table and the ones under New Code are the new mappings for the values under code and are not in the database.



This table is referenced by other tables for the Code and i want those references to be done to the New Code instead.How do i modify the existing table or design a new table to preserve the current Codes and also map them to the new Code.

Code New Code
ALMW AL ARB
ARBAC
ARBIT CU ARB
ARBOP
ARBSC
A1JAN AL AVG
A1FEB
A1MAR
A1APR
A1MAY
A1JUN






In god we trust,everything else we test.
