# Union All Rows Including Duplicates
|
||||
|
||||
Two tables or sets of results can be joined together into a single result set
|
||||
using [the `union`
|
||||
operator](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/queries-union.html). When
|
||||
combining results with `union`, all duplicate rows will be removed from its
|
||||
result.
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
> select generate_series(1,4)
|
||||
union
|
||||
select generate_series(3,6)
|
||||
order by 1 asc;
|
||||
|
||||
generate_series
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
1
|
||||
2
|
||||
3
|
||||
4
|
||||
5
|
||||
6
|
||||
(6 rows)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that despite both sides of the `union` having their own 3 and 4, those
|
||||
values each only show up once in the result.
|
||||
|
||||
If we don't want duplicates to be excluded, we can use `union all`.
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
> select generate_series(1,4)
|
||||
union all
|
||||
select generate_series(3,6)
|
||||
order by 1 asc;
|
||||
|
||||
generate_series
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
1
|
||||
2
|
||||
3
|
||||
3
|
||||
4
|
||||
4
|
||||
5
|
||||
6
|
||||
(8 rows)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In this case we have 8 rows instead of 6 with the values 3 and 4 each appearing
|
||||
twice.
