hi

I have a table(Type) with values A,B,C,D

I want to add a "All" value from a select

For example
Select Type from Table
union all
Select 'A'

This would result in

All
A
B
C
D

How should i go about it? Thanks

Select Type AS Val,1 AS Ord from Table
union all
Select 'All',0
)t
ORDER BY Ord

You dont need it when you use UNION ALL
