Merge two table together

[karynaweiss]

Okay, this is what I have so far.

I was trying to do a Union Query, this is the SQL information I have.

ELECT TRANSFORMERS.CoNo,
       TRANSFORMERS.SerialNo,
       TRANSFORMERS.KVA,
       TRANSFORMERS.Mfg,
       TRANSFORMERS.PriVoltsHigh,
       TRANSFORMERS.PriVoltsLow,
       TRANSFORMERS.SecVoltsHight,
       TRANSFORMERS.SecVoltsLow
FROM TRANSFORMERS INNER
UNION ALL
SELECT TRANSFORMERS.CoNo,
       TRANSFORMERS.SerialNo,
       TRANSFORMERS.KVA,
       TRANSFORMERS.Mfg,
       TRANSFORMERS.PriVoltsHigh,
       TRANSFORMERS.PriVoltsLow,
       TRANSFORMERS.SecVoltsHight,
       TRANSFORMERS.SecVoltsLow
FROM TRANSFORMERSNew;

I keep getting an error "Syntax error in JOIN operation"...di d I miss something?
Help...

Could it be that the first word in your SQL statement says ELECT when it should say SELECT?

INNER is the keyword for a type of JOIN. I've never heard of an INNER UNION ALL.

Karyna,

Notice I reformatted the SQL code for you as well as adding the [ CODE ] tags. I wonder how so many members seem to expect us to be able to read their SQL when they just dump it in a mess without any sort of formatting. This takes no special expertise, simply a little time and effort. I don't mean to bust your chops on this, but I really just don't get how this happens so often. As this is your first post I won't make a big deal out of it (in truth I want to leave it for others to find as they search through, rather than direct it specifically at yourself).

If you re-examine it now, you will see a number of mistakes (especially if I point them out to you) :

1. As mentioned before, the first character is missing from the SELECT on line #1.
2. On line #9 there is the remnants of an INNER JOIN statement. I guess someone decided to use the UNION ALL instead but failed to clear away the INNER JOIN fully.
3. The second SELECT query in the UNION (starting at line #11) refers to the wrong table. All the lines from #11 to #18 should be referring to TRANSFORMERSNew rather than TRANSFORMERS.

I will make sure to put code in a proper format.

I do have the "S" in the code...but I did not realize that INNER was not needed.

Is there a specific book on queries in Access, that anyone can recommend.

Thank you to all who responded.

Merry Christmas!

I would advise using Google to assist you. There is a plethora of information out there. Just search for: "Access Query Basics" for example.

Here is one to get started.

Hope this helps,
