Re: Union Query

I don't believe you can through a Union query. My question is why you have

two tables? Why not just add a "location" field to the records and put them
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=14058
all in one table? That would be much more normalized.

If you do so, the data will be easier to work with and your queries would be
updatable.

You can still limit access to the data by location using the new location
field and filtering the data appropriately.

Most of the time (but NOT always) when you find yourself using Union
queries, you are likely to have a normalization issue.
