What's the simplest way to produce a table C having r rows and k(A) + k(B) columns, and whose i-th row consists of the k(A) columns of the i-th row of A followed by the k(B) columns of the i-th row of B (for i = 1,...,r)? (By "i-th row of A" I mean the i-th row of the listing one would get from "SELECT * FROM A", and likewise for B.)
The question could be generalized slightly to the case where the numbers of rows r(A) and r(B) are not equal. For example, if r(A) < r(B), the desired table C would have r(B) rows, and the first k(A) columns of its last r(B) - r(A) rows would be nulls, reminiscent of a table produced by a right outer join.
Also, what's the technical term for this type of operation on two tables?
Thanks!
