QuestionHow to avoid duplicate records while using a UNION - SOLVED Pin
Richard Andrew x6428-Oct-22 15:50
professionalRichard Andrew x6428-Oct-22 15:50 
I have two SELECT statements joined with a UNION keyword.

There's a problem if both SELECT statements return the same record thus causing it to appear twice in the result set.

Is there any easy way to make the two SELECT statements mutually exclusive, so that if a record appears in the first one, it should not appear in the second one?

SQL
SELECT Column1, Column2, (SUBQUERY1) [SOMEDATA]
FROM TABLE1
WHERE CRITERIA1 IS TRUE

UNION

SELECT Column1, Column2, (SUBQUERY2) [SOMEDIFFERENTDATA]
FROM TABLE1
WHERE CRITERIA2 IS TRUE

SOLUTION: (This solution brought to you by rubber duck debugging.)

SQL
SELECT Column1, Column2, COALESCE((SUBQUERY2), (SUBQUERY1)) [SOMEDATA]
FROM TABLE1
WHERE CRITERIA1 IS TRUE
OR CRITERIA2 IS TRUE




The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
