Re: Selecting from two unrelated tables

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



You can use an union if the column types match

{...off the top of my head...}

select id, title, added as sortcol from table1
union
select id, headline, datetime as sortcol from table2
order by sortcol
limit 25;

I have two tables:

items: id, title, added, ...
news: id, headline, datetime, ...

I'd like to select the latest 25 combined records from both tables. Is there a way to do this
using just select?

Thanks,
