Mysql version 4 have UNION support: SELECT * FROM table_a UNION SELECT * FROM table_b; The above is _one_ statement. <URL: http://www.mysql.com/doc/U/N/UNION.html > Note the use of parentheses when you need to ORDER the combined result. Version 3.23.x does not support UNION, but you can achieve the same result using a temporary table, and three statements: CREATE TABLE tmp SELECT * FROM table_a; INSERT INTO tmp SELECT * FROM table_b; SELECT * FROM tmp ORDER BY ID; -- Roger --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
