>APPEND FROM will not work with different field names, so there are several ways to do this.
>You may SCAN you old_table and use INSERT INTO which allows to specify source (field, or variable or hard coded value) and target fields.
>You may add old_value field to your new_table, do APPEND FROM, then REPLACE ALL new_value WITH old_value. Depending on what your are trying to accomplish (is it one-time operation or will it repeat all the time in your app) you may even do it on the fly using ALTER TABLE command (remember it needs the EXCLUSIVE use of the table)
