- With respect to the suggestion to use UNION: Original poster is using 3.23, so UNION cannot be used (it's implemented in MySQL 4.0)
- Original poster suggests that MERGE tables are not implemented until 4.0, but this is incorrect. MERGE tables are available as of MySQL 3.23.25.
So it may be the case that a MERGE table will solve the problem.

Hi Jeff
Have you looked at UNIONS? An example would be something as follows:
SELECT field_1, field_2, field_3 FROM table 1 WHERE blah blah blah UNION SELECT field_1, field_2, field_3 FROM table 1_old WHERE blah blah blah ORDER BY field_1
This should do the trick...

We're currently running mysql ver 3.23 with plans to upgrade to 4.x soon but we're not ready yet.
I have two tables that are identical, table1 and table1_old. Table1_old contains all data writen to table1 prior to july of 2003.
I need to do a single query that pulls the same fields from both tables and output's them in the correct order. Is this possible?
I'm outputing this data to PHP web page.
I know in ver 4.x there is table called a "merge" table for this type of thing but we're stuck with 3.23 for now.
