    This document discusses the JOIN and UNION operations in DB2. It explains that a JOIN matches rows between tables based on common columns specified in the JOIN predicate. Up to 15 tables can be joined, including joining a table to itself. UNION merges the results of two or more queries after removing duplicate rows. CORRESPONDING columns in each SELECT must be the same data type. UNION ALL includes all rows and does not remove duplicates. Examples of JOIN and UNION queries are provided.
