SELECT table1.field1,table1.field2, table2.field3,table2.field8 from table1,table2 where table1.field2 = something and table2.field3 = somethingelse
Such queries are usually called "implicit JOINs" and Explicit vs implicit SQL joins asks how both compare. In some cases implicit query execution planning is identical to explicit JOINs.
The UNION ALL operator may be what you are looking for.
With this operator, you can concatenate the resultsets from multiple queries together, preserving all of the rows from each. Note that a UNION operator (without the ALL keyword) will eliminate any "duplicate" rows which exist in the resultset. The UNION ALL operator preserves all of the rows from each query (and will likely perform better since it doesn't have the overhead of performing the duplicate check and removal operation).
The number of columns and data type of each column must match in each of the queries. If one of the queries has more columns than the other, we sometimes include dummy expressions in the other query to make the columns and datatypes "match". Often, it's helpful to include an expression (an extra column) in the SELECT list of each query that returns a literal, to reveal which of the queries was the "source" of the row.
SELECT 'q1' AS source, a, b, c, d FROM t1 WHERE ...
UNION ALL
SELECT 'q2', t2.fee, t2.fi, t2.fo, 'fum' FROM t2 JOIN t3 ON ...
UNION ALL
SELECT 'q3', '1', '2', buckle, my_shoe FROM t4
You can wrap a query like this in a set of parenthesis, and use it as an inline view (or "derived table", in MySQL lingo), so that you can perform aggregate operations on all of the rows.
SELECT t.a
, SUM(t.b)
, AVG(t.c)
FROM (
SELECT 'q1' AS source, a, b, c, d FROM t1
UNION ALL
SELECT 'q2', t2.fee, t2.fi, t2.fo, 'fum' FROM t2
) t
GROUP BY t.a
ORDER BY t.a
In this case we are assuming that we have two tables:
SMPPMsgLogand SMSService with common column serviceid:
SELECT sp.SMS,ss.CMD
FROM vas.SMPPMsgLog AS sp,vas.SMSService AS ss
WHERE sp.serviceid=5431
AND ss.ServiceID = 5431
AND Receiver ="232700000"
AND date(TimeStamp) <='2013-08-07'
AND date(TimeStamp) >='2013-08-06' \G;
If your question was this -- Select ename, dname FROM emp, dept without using joins..
Then, I would do this...
SELECT ename, (SELECT dname
FROM dept
WHERE dept.deptno=emp.deptno)dname
FROM EMP
Output:
ENAME DNAME

Union will fetch data by row not column,So If your are like me who is looking for fetching column data from two different table with no relation and without join.
In my case I am fetching state name and country name by id. Instead of writing two query you can do this way.
select
(
select s.state_name from state s where s.state_id=3
) statename,
(
select c.description from country c where c.id=5
) countryname
from dual;
where dual is a dummy table with single column--anything just require table to view
