UNION
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
A UNION operation combines two subquery results of compatible row type into a single result. While UNION removes all duplicate records resulting from this combination, UNION ALL leaves subselect results as they are. Typically, you should prefer UNION ALL over UNION, if you don't really need to remove duplicates, see also this section of the manual. The following example shows how to use such a UNION operation in jOOQ.
SELECT * FROM BOOK WHERE ID = 3 UNION ALL SELECT * FROM BOOK WHERE ID = 5
create.selectFrom(BOOK).where(BOOK.ID.eq(3))
.unionAll(
create.selectFrom(BOOK).where(BOOK.ID.eq(5)))
.fetch();
