Microsoft SQL seems to use the column names from the
first select. So that would be "a, b" in your example.

Subject: [sqlite] Column names in a UNION
Who can tell me what the "correct" column names should be
for a UNION. For example:
SELECT a, b FROM t1 UNION SELECT x, y FROM t2;
The result set of the query above has two columns. Should
those columns be named a and b or x and y?
Does anybody know what the SQL standard says? Do all the
other SQL database engines get it right or is there some
disagreement?
