Subject How to join results of two queries.
Author Neil Murby
Hi,

In my application I have clients and staff, both on the same mailing
list.

I select the staff like this:
select staff.staffid as id, staff.lastname as name, 'staff' as
recordtype
from staff right join liststaff on staff.staffid = liststaff.staffid
where liststaff.ListID = :ListID

and I select the contacts in a similar fashion
select contact.contactid as id, contact.lastname as name, 'contact' as
recordtype
from contact right join listcontacts on contact.contactid =
listcontacts.contactid
where listcontacts.ListID = :ListID

What I'd like to be able to do is somehow create a query like this:
select recordtype, id, name
from <staff query> full join <contact query>
order by name

I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this, is there one?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Neil.

BTW I'm using IB 6.5 on Linux (RH 8.0)
