I have two columns(filepath, archivepath) in same table / row holding two different file paths, primary key is docid.

I want to show as two rows.
Doctype is just a flag to show whther it is type F or A and first three columns has same value in table.

docid,modrecordid, modname, filepath as docpath, 'F' as DocType
docid,modrecordid, modname, archivepath as docpath, 'A', as DocType

Using Base query getting above 5 column values, every docid with rows:

select docid, modrecordid, modName, filepath, archivepath from tab_docrepository order by docid;

Thank you very much for the helpful info.

select docid,modrecordid, modname, filepath as docpath, 'F' as DocType from table
union all
select docid,modrecordid, modname, archivepath as docpath, 'A' as DocType from table

[code]
select t.docid,t.modrecordid, t.modname,t1.docpath,t1.DocType
from table t
cross apply (values(t.filepath,'F'),(t.archivepath,'A'))t1(docpath,DocType)
[/code]
