You can't do
select * from table_1 UNION select * from table_2;
1st the structures of both queries have to be exactly the same. Second, you
have to specify them in the select.
select animalType from table_1 UNION select animalType from table_2;
should work, assuming that you have a field named animalType in both tables
and they are the same type and size.

Subject: Selecting * from 2 tables
Hello list,
How would you go about selecting * from 2 tables?
I have 2 tables: table_1 and table_2
In table_1 I have the following data.
dog
bird
cat
In table_2 I have:
mouse
rat
hampster
How do I show both tables contents like:
+----------+
|dog |
|bird |
|cat |
|mouse |
|rat |
|hampster |
+----------+
I've tried the following but its not producing what I
need.
select * from table_1,table_2;
select * from table_1 where ID IN (select ID from
table_2);
select * from table_1 UNION select * from table_2;
Any help would be great
Thanks for your help
--Mike
