UNION ALL Operator
A B
The UNION ALL operator returns rows from both queries, including all duplications.

UNION ALL Operator |
Academy |
|
|
Use the UNION ALL operator to return all rows from multiple qu ri s. |
|
|
Oracle |
Guidelines
The guidelines for UNION and UNION ALL are the same, with the following two exceptions that
pertain to UNION ALL: Unlike UNION, duplicate rows are not eliminated and the output is not sorted
by default. |

Using the UNION ALL Operator
Display the current and previous departments of all employees.
SELECT employee_id, job_id, department_id
FROM employees
UNION ALL
SELECT employee_id, job_id, department_id
FROM job_history
ORDER BY employee_id;

Using the UNION ALL Operator
In the example, 30 rows are selected. The combination of the two tables totals to 30 rows. The UNION ALL operator does not eliminate duplicate rows. UNION returns all distinct rows selected by
either query. UNION ALL returns all rows selected by either query, including all duplicates. Consider |
|||
the query in the slide, now written with the UNI N clause: |
|||
SELECT |
|
|
Only |
employee_id, job_id,departmentOracleid |
|||
FROM |
employees |
& |
|
|
|
||
UNION |
Internal |
|
|
|
|
|
|
SELECT |
employee id, job id,department id |
||
FROM |
job history |
|
|
ORDER BY employee id; |
|
|
|
The preceding query retur s 29 rows. ThisUseis because it eliminates the following row (because it is a |
|||
duplicate): |

INTERSECT Operator
A B
The INTERSECT operator returns rows that are common to both queries.

INTERSECT Operator |
Academy |
|
|
Use the INTERSECT operator to return all rows that are common to multiple queries. |
|
Guidelines
• The number of columns and the data types of the columns being selected by the SELECT
statements in the queries must be identical in all the SELECT statements used in the query. The |
||
|
Oracle |
|
names of the columns, however, need not be identical. |
||
• Reversing the order of the intersected&tables does not alter the result. |
||
• INTERSECT does not ignore NULL values. |
