Oracle: copy row while updating one field

Question

Please note: I am asking the question I want answered. I know this question means the database is set up poorly. So I will vote down any questions that suggest changing the way the table is set up.

I need to duplicate a bunch of rows, while changing one value.

name   col1 col2
dave   a    nil
sue    b    nil
sam    c    5

needs to become:

name   col1 col2
dave   a    nil
dave   a    a
sue    b    nil
sue    b    a
same   c    5

IE for all entries in this table where col2 is null, create a new entry in the table where name and col1 are the copied, and col2 is a.

Answer 1

Use:

INSERT INTO table
  (name, col1, col2)
SELECT t.name, t.col1, 'a'
  FROM TABLE t
 WHERE t.col2 IS NULL

That's assuming neither the name or col1 columns are a primary key or have a unique constraint on either.

Answer 2

Will this do it?

INSERT INTO yourtable
       (SELECT name, col1, 'a'
          FROM yourtable 
         WHERE col2 is NULL);
