In a further followup to my needing to combine colummns, I have the two following SELECTS that each work when I do them alone
select empssn,paycode_1,payrate_1 from paympe where not paycode_1 = '000' select empssn,paycode_2,payrate_2 from paympe where not paycode_2 = '000' However, when I do select empssn,paycode_1,payrate_1 from paympe where not paycode_1 = '000' union all select empssn,paycode_2,payrate_2 from paympe where not paycode_2 = '000' I get a syntax error According to the docs, this should work in versions past mySQL 4, and I seem to be running a version rather later than that mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.52, for pc-linux (i686) What am I doing wrong here? I have two valid SELECT statements; the field sizes and types are the same (indeed, empssn is the same field). This SHOULD provide me with what I'm looking for, but... -- Dave Weingart, Sr. Programmer/Analyst "I can call modules from the vasty Private Label Services deep." -- "Why, so can I, or so can Voice: +1-516-682-1470 any programmer.
