I have two tables looking something like:
TABLE_1
COL_A (int), COL_B (float), COL_C (float)
TABLE_2
COL_A (int), COL_B (float)
My query is using a UNION to put the results of these tables together, but where TABLE_2 doesn't have a COL_C, I'm looking to put something like '0'.
But I just get a 'ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined' error
How can I get around this?
You can try this
SELECT COL_A, COL_B, COL_C FROM Table1
UNION
SELECT COL_A, COL_B, 0 As COL_C FROM Table2
SELECT COL_A,COL_B,COL_C FROM TABLE_1
UNION
SELECT COL_A,COL_B,'0' AS COL_C FROM TABLE_2
You may also be able to get away with
SELECT COL_A,COL_B,COL_C FROM TABLE_1
UNION
SELECT COL_A,COL_B,'0' FROM TABLE_2
The basic idea is that both must have same number of columns of the same corresponding data types.
