Query all records from two tables

[Val]

I have two tables. Production information in first table
delay information in second table. I am trying to create a
query that will show ALL information from both tables. Left
join query shows delay info, right join query shows
production info. Can I somehow join the two queries? I
would appreciate any information. Thank-you

Hi,


There is two way, either make a non matching query as the second part of an
UNION:


SELECT a.*. b.*
FROM a LEFT JOIN b ON a.id=b.id

UNION ALL

SELECT a.*, b.*
FROM a RIGHT JOIN b ON a.id=b.id
WHERE a.id IS NULL




The other solution is to make a table with all possible values involved


SELECT id FROM a UNION id FROM b


and make a table of it, say, All_ID, index its unique field (or make it a
primary key), id, then:


SELECT a.*, b.*
FROM (All_ID LEFT JOIN a ON All_ID.id=a.id)
LEFT JOIN b ON All_ID.id=b.id



will also make the full outer join you desired.
