    Cool

    Paddy,

    Please...What you have posted in not a problem.

    Hope this helps.

    select * from a
    union
    select * from b
    where b.col1 not in ( select COL1 from a intersect select COL1 from b);

    This will work considering the data pattern being the same as you have given in the example

    Calvin_Qiu,Joseph and eeswar thanks for the response..

    Actually I was working on a querry which have lots of subquerries and unions..The problem I stated was just a part of that...

    I have tried all the options submitted by you guys..

    In my case Josephs soln seem to give a better performance..

    And calvin the second query submitted by you seems to not work in Oracle...however I am very curious to work on it..

    Thanks for all the help extended,

    Regards,

    Paddy

    Hi Calvin,

    I am working on oracle 8i,
    Can we rephrase this so that it will work in 8i as well..

    I was interested in it because it doesnot have any union or a sub query..This will positively reduce the execution time..

    If you look into this it will be of a great help.

    Thanks for you help Calvin.


    Warm Regards,

    Paddy
