I am trying to generate multiple rows from a single row and was able to do it using the below SQL. But I am wondering if there is a better way to write this SQL as its very long and can't apply to real-time scenarios. Thank you.
Note:- My query would return the desired output but it is not an efficient way to solve the problem. My actual input has more columns and I don't want to write 'n' no. of SQL queries and do a UNION ALL for all of them. Please suggest a better solution. Thank you.
Input :-
A.Col2 A.Col4 A.Col6 B.Col1 B.Col2 B.Col3 B.Col4 B.Col5 B.Col6 B.Col7
300 301 302 100 9011 100 9002 100 9002 100
300 301 302 101 8101 95 2001 100 2001 100
300 301 302 102 8101 105 2001 110 2001 110
Desired output :-
100 300 9011 100
101 300 8101 95
102 300 8101 105
100 301 9002 100
101 301 2001 100
102 301 2001 110
100 302 9002 100
101 302 2001 100
102 302 2001 110
In my example I have built test data with total 10 fields (First three fields and the remaining seven fields.) For every value in fourth column I have to build three rows with four columns, the three rows would look like:
( 4th column, 1st column, 5th column, 6th column ),
( 4th column, 2nd column, 7th column, 8th column ),
( 4th column, 3rd column, 9th column, 10th column )
My current SQL:

B.Col2 AS MappingID,
B.Col3 AS DamageFactor
