Answer / nikhila reddy
UNION:the both tables should have same structure and datatype.
the column name will taken as first table ones it wont bother abt other tables.
example:
emp table as
eid ename esal
1 a 10k
2 b 20k
dept table as
deptid deptname deptsal
11 aa 20k
12 bb 50k
select * from emp
union
select * from dept
empid empname empsal
1 a 10k
2 b 20k
11 aa 20k
12 bb 50k
now u can observe col name taking alias of first table.

it will remove duplicate records.
joins:it will join only required fields from different tables.
no need of same structure for tables..
it should have relation between a tables.
