I have a table (dbo.ACCOUNT_INF) with fields company_code (secondary key), accounts_code (unique) and other columns.
I like to copy rows containing a specific company_code and from accounts_code = 1 which is unique to accounts_code 100 along with full records (rows)
to a another company_code starting from a specific accounts_code in the same table dbo.ACCOUNTS_INF

Post a SELECT query which returns the rows you want to clone, we'll show you how to do the rest.
