Re: regarding join

given this.....
create table AA (id serial,name varchar(15));
create table BB (id serial,name varchar(15));
insert into AA (name) values ('1243f');
insert into AA (name) values ('asdfef');
insert into AA (name) values ('fdbsfd');
insert into AA (name) values ('btgrt');
insert into AA (name) values ('crregsewf');
insert into AA (name) values ('xedrgeef');
insert into BB (name) values ('243f');
insert into BB (name) values ('sdfef');
insert into BB (name) values ('dbsfd');
insert into BB (name) values ('tgrt');
insert into BB (name) values ('rregsewf');
insert into BB (name) values ('edrgeef');

you could try: (if you just need the one column "name")
select name from AA union select name from BB order by name;

a real nice way to go about this is:
create table CC (id serial,name varchar(15));
create table AA() inherits(CC);
create table BB() inherits(CC);
insert into AA (name) values ('1243f');
insert into AA (name) values ('asdfef');
insert into AA (name) values ('fdbsfd');
insert into AA (name) values ('btgrt');
insert into AA (name) values ('crregsewf');
insert into AA (name) values ('xedrgeef');
insert into BB (name) values ('243f');
insert into BB (name) values ('sdfef');
insert into BB (name) values ('dbsfd');
insert into BB (name) values ('tgrt');
insert into BB (name) values ('rregsewf');
insert into BB (name) values ('edrgeef');

=> select * from AA;
id | name
----+-----------
1 | 1243f
2 | asdfef
3 | fdbsfd
4 | btgrt
5 | crregsewf
6 | xedrgeef
(6 rows)

=> select * from BB;
id | name
----+----------
7 | 243f
8 | sdfef
9 | dbsfd
10 | tgrt
11 | rregsewf
12 | edrgeef
(6 rows)

=> select * from CC order by name;
id | name
----+-----------
1 | 1243f
7 | 243f
2 | asdfef
4 | btgrt
5 | crregsewf
9 | dbsfd
12 | edrgeef
3 | fdbsfd
11 | rregsewf
8 | sdfef
10 | tgrt
6 | xedrgeef
(12 rows)

by best regards,

Stefan
