default.

o Use UNION ALL to include duplicates.

• Syntax:

SELECT column1, column2, ...


FROM table1
UNION
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table2;

[Assume 1st table name “Emplyees_2023” and 2nd “Employees_2024”]

SELECT emp_id, emp_name FROM Employees_2023

SELECT emp_id, emp_name FROM Employees_2024;
