Oracle UNION ALL OperatorIn Oracle, the UNION ALL operator is used to combine the result sets of 2 or more SELECT statements. It is different from UNION operator in a way that it does not remove duplicate rows between the various SELECT statements. It returns all of the rows. Each SELECT statement within the UNION ALL must have the same number of fields in the result sets with similar data types. Difference between UNION and UNION ALL operatorsUNION operator removes duplicate rows while UNION ALL operator does not remove duplicate rows. Syntax Parameters 1) expression1, expression2, expression_n: It specifies the columns that you want to retrieve. Number of expressions must be same in both SELECT statements. 2) table1, table2: It specifies the table name that you want to retrieve records from. 3) conditions: It specifies the conditions that must be fulfilled for the records to be selected.
