Want to concatenate column of the second query to the first query but getting errors such as "query block has incorrect number of result columns" - sql

Question

SELECT
ID, PRIM_EMAIL, SEC_EMAIL, PHONE
FROM
STUDENTS.RECORDS
WHERE
ID IN (SELECT ID FROM STUDENTS.INFO WHERE ROLL_NO = '554')
UNION
SELECT NAME
FROM STUDENTS.INFO
WHERE ROLL_NO = '554';
Here Roll_No is a user inserted data so for now I have hard coded it. Basically with the help of ROLL_NO I sort the STUDENTS_INFO table from where I get the ID and based on that I try to get PRIM_EMAIL, SEC_EMAIL, PHONE from the STUDENTS.RECORDS table while matching the foreign keys of both the tables. In addition to the current result set I also want to have the prov_name column.
Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Answer 1

I suspect that you want to put all this information on the same row, which suggests a join rather than union all:
select
r.ID,
r.PRIM_EMAIL,
r.SEC_EMAIL,
r.PHONE,
r.NAME
from STUDENTS.RECORDS r
inner join STUDENTS.INFO i ON i.ID = r.ID
where I.ROLL_NO = '554';

Answer 2

I think the source of your error query block has incorrect number of result columns is coming from trying to union together a table with 4 columns (id, prim_email, sec_email, phone) with 1 column (name).
From your question, I am gathering that you want a single table of id, prim_email, sec_email, phone from students.records and name from students.info.
I think the following query using CTE's might get you (partially) to your final result. You may want to refactor for optimizing performance.
with s_records as ( select * from students.records ),
s_info as ( select * from students.info ),
joined as (
select
s_records.id,
s_records.prim_email,
s_records.sec_email,
s_records.phone,
s_info.name
from s_records
left join s_info
on s_records.roll_no = s_info.roll_no
where roll_np = '554' )
select * from joined
Overall, I think that a join will be part of your solution rather than a union :-)
