I need help combining a few select statements - sql

I would like to pull all of the columns from my second select statement and put it to the right of all of my columns from my first statement.
I have tried Union and the join commands with no luck.
When I use these they just have what I wanted from my first select statement.
Here is basic code I have.
Select * from MTG_TREND where LINEID='A2' end;
Select * from MTG_TREND where LINEID='B2'
All of the other columns are the same.

Select t1.*,t2.* from MTG_TREND t1
left join (
Select * from MTG_TREND where LINEID='B2'
) as t2
on t1.primarykey=t2.primarykey
where t1.LINEID='A2'

NOTE:
- Make sure you are matching the same number of columns in both SELECT Statement.
- Another thing to remember is you have to have the same matched column (datatype).
- If there are some columns that are not present is the table then just defined the column with null so that you can get it in output from another select statement.
Select col1, col2, col3,...... from MTG_TREND where LINEID='A2'
UNION ALL
Select col1, col2, col3,...... from MTG_TREND where LINEID='B2'

Using union on two tables

It gives me error when i try to join two tables.Both tables has same number of columns
Here is the error
failed to find conversion function from unknown to text
select * from table1
union
select * from table 2;
When you use UNION columns need the same type as the same position.
use clear column name instead of *, Because we can't predict the number of columns after table1 or table2 is different.
select col1,col2...
from table1
union
select col1,col2...
from table2;

How to return unique records between two tables without using distinct and union?

I need to return the unique records between two tables. Ideally, an UNION would solve my problem but both tables contain an object field which gives me an error(cannot ORDER objects without MAP or ORDER method) when I do UNION/distinct.
So, I was wondering if I can do a UNION ALL(to avoid the error) to get all the records first then do something to return only the unique records from there. I tried analytic function combined with the UNION ALL query but no luck so far.
Select * from Table1
union all
Select * from table2
Any help? Note:I need to return all fields.
I actually solved the problem using analytic function+row_num. The query will choose the first record for each set of duplicates hence returning only the unique records.
select * from
(
select ua.*,row_number() over (partition by p_id order by p_id ) row_num from
(
select * from table1
union all
select * from table2
)ua
) inner
where inner.row_num=1
How about this :
SELECT DISTINCT A.* FROM
(
Select * from Table1
union all
Select * from table2
) A;
(or)
SELECT col1,col2,col3...coln FROM
(
Select col1,col2,col3...coln from Table1
union all
Select col1,col2,col3...coln from table2
) A
GROUP BY A.col1,col2,col3...coln;
UNION ALL will give duplicate values as well .. instead use UNION and see if you are facing the error

How do I concatenate two similar tables on a result

I have two tables with similar columns. I would simply like to select both tables, one after another, so that if I have 'x' rows on table1 and 'y' rows on table2, I'd get 'x + y' rows.
You would use UNION [ALL] for this. The tables don't need to have the same column names but you do need to select the same number of columns from each and the corresponding columns need to be of compatible datatypes
SELECT col1,col2,col3 FROM table1
UNION ALL
SELECT col1,col2,col3 FROM table2
UNION ALL is preferrable to UNION where there is a choice as it can avoid a sort operation to get rid of duplicates.
Just to add to what they were saying, you might want to add an Order By. Depends on the version of SQL you're using.
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3
FROM Table1
UNION
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3
FROM Table2
ORDER BY Col1
Note that ORDER and GROUP BYs have to go after the last table in the UNION.
select col1,col2,col3 from table1
union
select col1,col2,col3 from table2
Look at the Union operator.

SQL Append table queries

I have two tables, say table1 with two rows of data say row11 and row12
and table2 with 3 rows of data sat row21, row22, row23
Can anyone provide me with the SQL to create a query that returns
row11
row12
row21
row22
row23
Note: I dont want to create a new table just return the data.
Use UNION ALL, based on the example data:
SELECT * FROM TABLE1
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM TABLE2
UNION removes duplicates - if both tables each had a row whose values were "rowx, 1", the query will return one row, not two. This also makes UNION slower than UNION ALL, because UNION ALL does not remove duplicates. Know your data, and use appropriately.
select * from table1 union select * from table2
Why not use a UNION?
SELECT
Col1,Col2,Col3
FROM
TABLE1
UNION
SELECT
Col1,Col2,Col3
FROM
TABLE2
Are the columns on the two tables identical?
In MS Access you can achieve the same goal with an INSERT INTO query:
INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT * FROM TABLE2;

Combining several query results into one table, how is the results order determined?

I am retuning table results for different queries but each table will be in the same format and will all be in one final table. If I want the results for query 1 to be listed first and query2 second etc, what is the easiest way to do it?
Does UNION append the table or are is the combination random?
The SQL standard does not guarantee an order unless explicitly called for in an order by clause. In practice, this usually comes back chronologically, but I would not rely on it if the order is important.
Across a union you can control the order like this...
select
this,
that
from
(
select
this,
that
from
table1
union
select
this,
that
from
table2
)
order by
that,
this;
UNION appends the second query to the first query, so you have all the first rows first.
You can use:
SELECT Col1, Col2,...
FROM (
SELECT Col1, Col2,..., 1 AS intUnionOrder
FROM ...
) AS T1
UNION ALL (
SELECT Col1, Col2,..., 2 AS intUnionOrder
FROM ...
) AS T2
ORDER BY intUnionOrder, ...
