  • 0

I have two tables (IncomingDocs) and (OutgoingDocs) each have a field called SubmitDate (datatype Datetime) and DepositNo (datatype Int)
Each DeposotNo may have multiple Submitdate in a single table. 

    For example;



_IncomingDocs table_

**DepositNo**  |  **SubmitDate**  

    1  |  10/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  
    1  |  12/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  
    2  |  10/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  
    3  |  10/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  
    3  |  13/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  
    4  |  20/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  

_OutgoingDocs table_

**DepositNo**  |  **SubmitDate**  

    1  |  11/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  
    2  |  15/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  
    3  |  12/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  
    3  |  14/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  
    4  |  19/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  

    SELECT DepositNo, SubmitDate  
    FROM IncomingDocs AS i, OutgoingDocs as o  
    WHERE DepositNo = 1  
    ORDER BY SubmitDate  

* The output of the query should be:

_Output table_

**DepositNo**  |  **SubmitDate**  
1  |  10/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  << From IncomingDocs table  
1  |  11/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  << From OutgoingDocs table  
1  |  12/3/2012 12:00:00 AM  << From IncomingDocs table

I want the output to be records of a specific DepositNo (specified in the WHERE clause) and ordered by the Submitdate.

    — you’ll need ‘UNION ALL’ if you need to keep both rows from each table that
    — happen to be duplicate

    SELECT DepositNo, SubmitDate  
FROM (  
     SELECT DepositNo, SubmitDate  
     FROM OutgoingDocs  
     WHERE DepositNo = 1 --Or a variable @MyDepositNo  
     UNION ALL --this will preserve duplicate rows if there are any between the two tables  
     SELECT DepositNo, SubmitDate  
     FROM IncomingDocs  
     WHERE DepositNo = 1 --as above  
) TT  
ORDER BY TT.SubmitDate
