Query Help
Hello I have a query that goes through and gets the data out of three tables without a problems. Now the task at hand is to compair that out put against three identiacal tables not displaying any duplicate date. Tables: a a.aocode , a.CaseNo , a.CaseName b. b.ao_code , b.initials c c.CaseNo, c.Name Then the new three tables have the same structure except they are named a_new, b_new, c_new. The query that I am using to pull the data out of the first table is as follows: Select distinct a.CaseNo, a.CaseName, b.initials, c.Name, from a left join b on a.aocode=b.ao_code left join c on a.CaseNo=c.CaseNo where b.initials ='XXX' For this example lets say that I have a where clause in there also that would get passed as a variable from another script. Now how in the world to I take run this query against both sets of tables and then combine the data and bring back a result?

Re: Query Help
Is there another way as I do not have that version of MYSQL installed on my server?

If I remember correctly its a fairly new feature for MySQL, but its a standard SQL thing. From the manual: SELECT ... UNION [ALL] SELECT ... [UNION SELECT ...] UNION is implemented in MySQL 4.0.0. UNION is used to combine the result from many SELECT statements into one result set. The SELECT commands are normal select commands, but with the following restrictions: * Only the last SELECT command can have INTO OUTFILE. * Only the last SELECT command can have ORDER BY. If you don't use the keyword ALL for the UNION, all returned rows will be unique, like if you had done a DISTINCT for the total result set. If you specify ALL, then you will get all matching rows from all the used SELECT statements.
