Question

I have a bit of a problem creating a query to assemble the SELECT queries below into one query, instead of running each one manually. This helps myself to one create CSV file easier and quicker

select top 200 * from dbo.abacus where  type =  'A'
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus where  type =  'B'
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus  where type =  'E'
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus  where type =  'F'
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus  where type =  'F'
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus  where type =  'FX'
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus  where type =  'E'

Answer 1

Try UNION :

select top 200 * from dbo.abacus where  type =  'A'
union
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus where  type =  'B'
union
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus  where type =  'E'
union
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus  where type =  'F'
union
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus  where type =  'F'
union
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus  where type =  'FX'
union
select top 200 * from dbo.abacus  where type =  'E'
