Question

i am connecting access to a mysql db.

i need to put together two statements and make them into one.

for example:

SELECT 
  users.id,
  users.first,
  users.last,
  chavrusas.luser_type AS user_type,
  chavrusas.id, 
  users.title, 
  users.city, 
  users.state, 
  users.home_phone, 
  users.email
FROM users
INNER JOIN chavrusas 
  ON Users.id=chavrusas.luser_id
WHERE     ((chavrusas.ruser_id)='3166' and chavrusas.ended=false) 
  AND     (chavrusas.luser_type) <> (chavrusas.ruser_type)
  AND NOT ((chavrusas.luser_type)='teacher' AND (chavrusas.ruser_type)='student')
  AND NOT ((chavrusas.ruser_type)='teacher' AND (chavrusas.luser_type)='student'); 
UNION
SELECT  
  users.id, 
  users.first, 
  users.last, 
  chavrusas.ruser_type AS user_type, 
  chavrusas.id, 
  users.title, 
  users.city, 
  users.state, 
  users.home_phone, 
  users.email
FROM users
INNER JOIN chavrusas 
  ON Users.id=chavrusas.ruser_id
WHERE     ((chavrusas.luser_id)='3166' and chavrusas.ended=false)
  AND     (chavrusas.luser_type) <> (chavrusas.ruser_type)
  AND NOT ((chavrusas.luser_type)='teacher' AND (chavrusas.ruser_type)='student')
  AND NOT ((chavrusas.ruser_type)='teacher' AND (chavrusas.luser_type)='student')
ORDER BY 4;

Users is a query which is:

SELECT 
  tblusers.*,
  tblusershliach.*,
  tbluserstudent.*,
  tbluserstudentteacher.*,
  tbluserteacher.*
FROM
(
  (
    (tblusers 
     LEFT JOIN tblusershliach 
     ON tblusers.id = tblusershliach.shliach_user_id
    )
  LEFT JOIN tbluserstudent 
  ON tblusers.id = tbluserstudent.student_user_id
  )
LEFT JOIN tbluserstudentteacher
ON tblusers.id = tbluserstudentteacher.student_teacher_user_id
) 
LEFT JOIN tbluserteacher 
ON tblusers.id = tbluserteacher.teacher_user_id;

instead of using “Users” in the first statement, i just want to put them together into one statement

how do i do it?

Answer 1

Your SQL statement includes a semi-colon before the UNION keyword. I’m not sure how Jet/ACE treats it, but I always thought the semi-colon meant “end of statement”. Discard it and see if your results are any different. I’m not at all confident that will fix your problem, but let’s make sure it’s not contributing.

Update:
I did some tests, and it looks like Jet/ACE just ignores a semi-colon within a UNION. I was barking up the wrong tree.
