Hello -

I'm sure this question will depend on what I'm trying to accomplish but is there a better option to the UNION statement? Thanks in advance - Scott

Of course that's true.
EDIT: UNION is just a tool in the toolbox - use the right tool for the right job :)


However, unless you want to DISTINCT the UNIONed statements, use UNION ALL.
