RE: SQL: can UNION be utilized to combine rows from two tables when one of the tables is a common table expression?

Thanks - that was it. Only one order by allowed, and must be without the qualifiers.

Try removing the first ORDER BY so you only have one after all the code.

I have create two SQL selects, and both of them work well when run by themselves.

When I combine them with UNION in between, I receive the error

"Keyword UNION not expected. Valid tokens: <END-OF-STATEMENT>."

Is it possible to use the UNION to create a query of two tables when one of the tables is a common table expression as shown below?

Thanks!
