Sometimes there is a need to combine data from multiple tables or views into one comprehensive dataset. This may be for like tables within the same database or maybe there is a need to combine like data across databases or even across servers. I have read about the UNION and UNION ALL commands, but how do these work and how do they differ?

The use of union would seem to force a distinct in each of the select statements being unioned. The use multiple unions, with mixed union and union all clauses, seems to cause haphazard results.
