Does anyone know how I can 'join' the results of
one SQL query to the bottom of another?
Eg. I have two queries:
1. SELECT Name, Surname FROM People WHERE Surname = Smith
NAME SURNAME
Adam Smith
John Smith
Michael Smith
Steve Smith
2. SELECT Name, Surname FROM People WHERE Surname = Jones
NAME SURNAME
Bob Jones
Larry Jones
Tom Jones
What I want to produce is:
NAME SURNAME
Adam Smith
John Smith
Michael Smith
Steve Smith
Bob Jones
Larry Jones
Tom Jones
However, if I use UNION like this:
SELECT Name, Surname FROM People WHERE Surname = Smith
UNION
SELECT Name, Surname FROM People WHERE Surname = Jones
it mixes up all the results:
NAME SURNAME
Adam Smith
Bob Jones
John Smith
Larry Jones
Michael Smith
Steve Smith
Tom Jones
(I guess it's sorting by the first field, NAME).
Is there a way to stop it sorting the results, so that it
just tacks the second query results to the bottom of the
first query results?
(I realise I could use "ORDER BY Surname" to get the same result
in this simple example, but for the more complicated queries
I want to use it won't work).
Thanks for any help,
Matt.

Hi Matt,
Union sorts the data and tries to remove duplicates. Use UNION ALL to
override this behavior. If the data is stored in a table, use an
identity column to preserve the order. - Louis

WHy not use
SELECT Name, Surname FROM People WHERE Surname = 'Jones' or 'SMITH'
ORDER BY Surname, Name
Simple and avoids the need for a UNION
HOpe this helps

I agree that in this case you should just use an OR, but assuming your real
case is more complicated, how about
SELECT 1 AS ResultSetNum, Name, Surname FROM People WHERE Surname = Smith
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 AS ResultSetNum, Name, Surname FROM People WHERE Surname = Jones
ORDER BY ResultSetNum

I have the following problem
I’m using a query to get all the data from my database from the past
year
the second query is displaying the results by month.
How can I match the second query with the first query in order to get
the results from the same store on the same row?

Trying even the most basic queries - select queries joining (inner
join) two tables - and the results are not updatable, and I can't tell
why they aren't. All permissions are on, recordset is dynaset, unique
values is no, etc.. etc..
Here's the SQL if it helps..:
SELECT tbl.ID
FROM tbl INNER JOIN Master ON tbl.IDNumber = Master.IDNumber;
