Inserting data in a tall format

Ok, I may very well regret asking this, but why would you want to? I only say that because it seems cicurlar. Kind of like using an Excel formula that points to itself. :scratch:

Actually I was thinking in terms of how a transaction group works. Normally it would store things in a wide format. Maiking the items read only and referencing them in an INSERT SELECT method gives you option of storing in a tall format.
