Merge two query results

[Guest]

Is it possible to merge 2 query results?

I have a function that returns a querey result.

< CFSET temp = query1>
<CFSET FNCTransfers = temp>

Now I want to change the query to return a merged query result

< CFSET temp = query1>
<CFSET temp2 = query2>

Is it possible to merge the two results?

Some thing like this (I know that it cannot be done like this)
<CFSET FNCTransfers = temp1 & temp2>

Maby it should be a union and query of query?

You will most likely find trying to use Query of Query very problematic. I reccommend that you actually write a SQL statement to do the union at the DB end.

I know that it seems a bit crappy, but i think it will help you maintain your sanity.

The best way to achieve your goal depends on what it is. Your question is very general.

UNION could be the way to go. the query results will have to match up
between the 2 queries (field data types need to match for both queries)

<cfquery name="qryMergedQueries" dbtype="query">
SELECT * FROM query1
UNION
SELECT * FROM query2
</cfquery>

I had two different queryes getting internal transgers in a company and external transfers in/out of a company and then I would show a merged list of this two results.
The two queryes vere very complex and therfore I would not merge the two queryes into one query.

The query of query aproach worked very well.
