Question

How do I combine these two select statements into one query:

SELECT SUM( incidents )  AS fires, neighborhoods AS fire_neighborhoods
FROM (
SELECT * 
FROM `fires_2009_incident_location` 
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `fires_2008_incident_location`
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `fires_2007_incident_location`
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `fires_2006_incident_location`
) AS combo
GROUP BY fire_neighborhoods ORDER BY fires DESC



SELECT SUM( incidents )  AS adw, neighborhoods AS adw_neighborhoods
FROM (
SELECT * 
FROM `adw_2009_incident_location` 
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `adw_2008_incident_location`
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `adw_2007_incident_location`
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `adw_2006_incident_location`
) AS combo2
GROUP BY adw_neighborhoods ORDER BY adw DESC

So, I’d like the query to return, something like:

fire_neighborhoods  fires  adw_neighborhoods  adw
xyzNeighborhood     6      abcNeighborhood    22
jklNeighborhood     3      tuvNeighborhood    40

I want to simply combine the results of the two queries above. The two queries are independent of each other. The results of one doesn’t effect the results of the other query. I simply need a way to slam the two results together into one.

If anyone has any advice, please let me know.

Thank you.

Thanks for the the help in figuring this out. Shout out to David Hall, Aaron, Jeffrey Whitledge & NYSystemsAnalyst. I went with the dummy column option:

SELECT SUM( incidents ) , neighborhoods,  'adw' as offense 
FROM (
SELECT * 
FROM `adw_2009_incident_location` 
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `adw_2008_incident_location`
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `adw_2007_incident_location`
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `adw_2006_incident_location`
) AS combo 
GROUP BY neighborhoods  
UNION ALL
SELECT SUM( incidents ), neighborhoods,  'fire' as offense 
FROM (
SELECT * 
FROM `fire_2009_incident_location` 
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `fire_2008_incident_location`
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `fire_2007_incident_location`
UNION ALL SELECT * 
FROM `fire_2006_incident_location`
) AS combo2
GROUP BY neighborhoods
