Hi. This is my first post. If there is some syntax to make nice looking tables, please point me to instructions on how to do it.

Suppose I have a table like this
key | field1| field2
---------------------------
a | 1 | AA
b | 3 | CF
c | 1 | QB
d | 2 | JV
--------------------------
and one like this
fieldA
--------
a
b
a
a
c
b
--------

How can I "select" a table like the second one, but with two more columns populated with the corresponding field1 and field2 values pulled from the first table? In other words, I want to select a table like this

-----------------------------
a | 1 | AA
b | 3 | CF
a | 1 | AA
a | 1 | AA
c | 1 | QB
b | 3 | CF
