Hi Arul,
maybe copying the columns into a temporary table might do the
job. I don't know how big your tables are, if performance might
be a problem.
The following statements should create the query you wanted:
/*creating temporary table*/
CREATE TABLE tmp_Information
(
TYPENAME (any typ-definition varchar,int???)
);
/*inserting rows for company information*/
INSERT INTO tmp_Information
SELECT CT.Company_Type as TYPENAME
FROM RFQ_Details RD, Company_Type CT
WHERE RD.RFQID = 4 AND RD.SEARCH_Type = 'COMPANY'
AND Company_TypeID = RD.TypeID;
/*inserting rows for user information*/
INSERT INTO tmp_Information
SELECT UT.USER_Type as TYPENAME
FROM RFQ_Details RD, User_Type UT
WHERE RD.RFQID = 4 AND RD.SEARCH_Type = 'USER'
AND User_TypeID = RD.TypeID;
/*do whatever you want with the rows of the union*/
SELECT TYPENAME FROM tmp_Information;
/*erase the temporary table*/
DROP TABLE tmp_Information
Hopes that helps.
Take care
Andreas
