I'm trying to list both Student and Faculty information using the Union operator. This is what I have so far:

SELECT FacNo, FacFirstName, FacLastName
From Faculty
UNION Select StdNo, stdFirstName, stdLastName
From Student;

When I ran it, all that displayed was the Faculty information. Should I be using Union All?
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Are their duplicates between the two tables?
Do the corresponding fields all have the same data types?
What do the FacNo and StdNo values look like?

I didn't see any duplicates, and the fields have the same data types. FacNo and StdNo are short text with 9 characters (all numbers).
I'm not sure if this would be an issue, but the Student table was created in Access, and the Faculty table was made in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. They are linked and I used the ODBC database import.

I cannot recreate the scenario.

What happens if you run each one individually, like this:

Query1:
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]SELECT FacNo, FacFirstName, FacLastName[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]From Faculty;[/COLOR]

Query2:
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]Select StdNo, stdFirstName, stdLastName[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]From Student;[/COLOR]
Do both queries return data?

If so, could you post small sample of each data table?

I'm sorry, but how do I post a sample? I read the 2 stickies at the top of the forum, but the link to download the add-in no longer works. Should I just copy the SQL from the Student and Faculty tables for you to try?

From Access, you can just copy/paste from query/tables, like this:

Just go into the table/query, click on the box in the upper left corner to select everything, and copy/paste.
If there is too much data in your table to do that, create a query to select a small subset of records and do that.
