I facing a problem with checkbox value that already exists inside the database. so how can I retrieve those value into another database table? The table subject and service below is what I want. But based on the code below the SERVICE TABLE on SUBJECTID COLUMN producing null value. How to remove those null value with subjectid value? I don't understand that well because I am a newbie.

SUBJECT TABLE (Values inside subject table already exists)

SUBJECTID       SUBJECTNAME
-----------     ----------------
PT3_ENGLISH      ENGLISH
PT3_BM           BAHASA MELAYU
PT3_SC           SCIENCE
PT3_MATH         MATHEMATICS

CURRENT SERVICE TABLE IN DB

 SERVICE TABLE 
        SERVICEID       SERVICECATEGORY    SERVICETYPE     STUDENTID    SUBJECTID
        ---------       ---------------    -----------     ---------    ----------
        123             PT3                 ORDINARY       20345         null

TABLE THAT I WANT.

SERVICE TABLE 
    SERVICEID       SERVICECATEGORY    SERVICETYPE     STUDENTID    SUBJECTID
    ---------       ---------------    -----------     ---------    ----------
    123             PT3                 ORDINARY       20345         PT3_ENGLISH
                                                                     PT3_BM
                                                                     PT3_SC
                                                                     PT3_MATH
