Please let me know if UNION ALL and Natural Join does the same operation and are same.....

Answer / vasanth

Hi All....!

Natural join is the same as an equi join on (emp.deptno =
dept.deptno).

Natural joins may cause problems if columns are added or
renamed. Also, no more than two tables can be joined using
this method. So, it is best to avoid natural joins as far
as possible.

If you will come to UNION ALL.

UNION ALL query allows you to combine the result sets of 2
or more "select" queries. It returns all rows (even if the
row exists in more than one of the "select" statements.

Each SQL statement within the UNION ALL query must have the
same number of fields in the result sets with similar data
types.

For Example :-

select field1, field2, . field_n
from tables
UNION ALL
select field1, field2, . field_n
from tables;

Answer / subathra

union all: Joins the 2 selected results based on different
conditions.

Example:
select a.emp_id, b.dept_id from
emp a, dept b
where a.dept_id=b.dept_id
and a.sal < 3000
union all
select a.emp_id, b.dept_id from
emp a, dept b
where a.dept_id=b.dept_id
and a.sal > 6000

Natural Join: Establish the condition between 2 or more
tables.

Example: select a.emp_id, b.dept_id from
emp a, dept b
where a.dept_id=b.dept_id
