Not sure what you're trying to say here... You didn't formulate a question. Maybe you mean this?: CREATE VIEW foobar AS SELECT date_id, A_table_id, A1_table.A11, A1_table.A12 WHERE something2 = x UNION SELECT date_id, A_table_id, A2_table.A21, A2_table.A22 WHERE something2 <> x In case the records in the result sets matching something2 = x and the ones not matching are distinct or if you don't care about duplicates, use UNION ALL instead of UNION. -- Alban Hertroys alban@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx magproductions b.v.
