Re: How do I create a new table based on combining a number of tables

Thanks Serge

Here is my attempt of an sql statement, but only the first table is
being inserted.

As a nice to have would also to add a field to indicate from which table.

1. create table allfrm_1

2. insert the records of the other tables into allfrm_1

INSERT INTO deeds.allfrm_1

SELECT * FROM  deeds.plssblmfrm_1
UNION ALL

SELECT * FROM  deeds.plssctnfrm_1
UNION ALL

SELECT * FROM  deeds.plssjhbfrm_1
UNION ALL

SELECT * FROM  deeds.plsskimfrm_1
UNION ALL

SELECT * FROM  deeds.plsskwtfrm_1
UNION ALL

SELECT * FROM  deeds.plsspmbfrm_1
UNION ALL

SELECT * FROM  deeds.plssptafrm_1
UNION ALL

SELECT * FROM  deeds.plssutafrm_1
UNION ALL

SELECT * FROM  deeds.plssvryfrm_1
;
