Thanks Fred, Yes I figured that out.. I also needed to add 2 other values which weren't part of the table so what I did was exactly what you described UNION select 'value1', 'value2' from dual

That would be something like: Create or Replace view1 (Col1, Col2) AS (Select Col1, Col2 from table1 UNION Select Col1, Col2 from table2); Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe DeSouza Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 1:55 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: OT: Creating a view from 2 tables using SQL... ** I have table1 with Col1 and Col2 I have table2 with Col1 and Col2 I need to create a single view from both these tables, say view 1 where Col1 of the view has every value that is in Col1 of both the tables and Col2 of the view has all the values of Col2 of both the tables... There is something wrong with the sql that I am writing resulting in a 'ORA-00957: duplicate column name'. Could anyone point me to the syntax to write the above? Note that this is not a conditional view - the view should basically contain all the rows of both the tables basically 'merging' the 2 tables...
