Why would you want to duplicate data like this when it you can create a VIEW to accomplish the same thing. Duplicate data is (almost) always a very bad thing in RDBMS's

SQL Code:

Original - SQL Code
CREATE VIEW Table2 AS SELECT UID ApplicationRole FROM Table1 WHERE Category = 14

CREATE VIEW Table2
AS
  SELECT UID ApplicationRole
    FROM Table1
  WHERE Category = 14

Note, your syntax may differ.
