Re: multi format logical in sql

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

No.

Best you can do is a UNION
select <...> from file1
UNION ALL
select <...> from file2

however, you have to have a compatible set of columns from both files.

select charfld1 as fld1, ' ' as fld2, numfld2 as fld3 from file1
UNION ALL
select char(numfld1), charfld2, 0 from file2
