I can create a UNION between tables with similar columns cols A, B, and C from table_1 with cols A, B, and C from Table_2. What I can¹t figure out is how to add additionals columns (D, E, F) from table_2 if the columns don¹t exist in Table_1. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
