Answer / sivadasan

Sorry for the previous answer....

We can do like this ,

1. First we have to transfer all data from original_table
table to a temporary table .

create table Temp_table as select * from original_table;

2. Delete all record from Original Table....

delete original_table;

3. Now we can write a query by using INSERT and UNION

insert into original_table (select * from temp_table
UNION select * from temp_table);

any issues let me know.....
