Emma :
I have searched but not quite found what I am looking for. I need to create a new entry in a table for each existing entry with a unique id. For example - my table is like this.
id userid action
--- -------- ----------
1 55 Red
2 55 Blue
3 56 Red
4 56 Blue
For each unique Userid, I need to add another entry - for example
id userid action
--- -------- ----------
1 55 Red
2 55 Blue
3 56 Red
4 56 Blue
5 55 Green
6 56 Green
Is this possible??

You can use the insert ... select
syntax to generate a new record for each distinct userid
:
insert into mytable(userid, action)
select distinct userid, 'Green' from mytable
