Oracle - Union All
In Oracle, the UNION ALL operator is used to combine the result sets of 2 or more SELECT statements. It is different from UNION operator in a way that it does not remove duplicate rows between the various SELECT statements. It returns all of the rows.
Each SELECT statement within the UNION ALL must have the same number of fields in the result sets with similar data types.
In very simple words the difference between UNION and UNION ALL is that UNION will omit duplicate records whereas UNION ALL will include duplicate records.
SELECT expression1, expression2, ... expression_n
FROM table1
WHERE conditions
UNION ALL
SELECT expression1, expression2, ... expression_n
FROM table2
WHERE conditions;
SELECT supplier_id
FROM suppliers
UNION ALL
SELECT supplier_id
FROM order_details;
The above example will return the supplier_id multiple times in the result set if the same value appeared in both the supplier_id and order_details table.
