Question

I have four tables containing exactly the same columns, and want to create a view over all four so I can query them together.

Is this possible?

(for tedious reasons I cannot/am not permitted to combine them, which would make this irrelevant!)

Answer 1

Assuming that in addition to having the same column names, columns of the same contain the same data, you want to create a view that is the union of all those tables.

Something like the following should work, but my SQL is rusty:

(CREATE VIEW view_name AS (SELECT * FROM table1 UNION SELECT * FROM table2 UNION SELECT * FROM table3));
