  • OK ... but what is your question?

  • Hi Phil,

    I would like to create the same script without using a UNION, but I'm not sure how to do that.

    It is impossible. Remove UNION from the script and it is no longer the same.

  • It might be possible but I'm not going through the code to figure out which columns are coming from which tables.  Using table aliases in all columns when joins are present would have helped a whole lot.

    Yes, but it doesn't have a union which is all that was asked.

    Why do you think the OP wants to remove union?

  • Probably so he can get away from having to run two separate queries and then merge the results with a distinct UNION.  That may or may not be faster, though.  Divide'n'Conquer can be a really good thing.

    Yes, I wasn't really thinking about performance either as that wasn't mentioned in the question.

    I took "I need to update my sql script and remove the UNION but get the same result" as the question.

    You've used quotation marks, yet your text does not appear prior to it in the thread. It's probably the right question, I agree, but I've failed at 'guess the question' so many times in the past that I've stopped doing it. How hard would it have been for the OP just to write that?

    Look at the second line of the original post.
