Hi, all.
I'm creating a new employee directory for our intranet. Some of the employees' data like names, professions, birthdays, etc are replicated from Scala accounting software's database from another SQL server to the SQL server, where I make my client/server solutions. Because our company has several smaller companies, then the names of each company's employees are in separate tables, although all the names of the tablefields are identical.
So, I have 4 tables with same design, but different data. I'd like to query those tables to the CCS grid, so that it would display all the names one after another, like they were queried from one table. In a word, how could I query these tables as they were one? This might be a stupid question, so may be you could enlighten me. I don't have much experience with advanced queries and joins, so I need some help here.
I work with MSSQL 2000 and ASP 3.0 w/templates.

In the query builder for the grid select sql as query type and Use the union
statement as follows
select field1, field2, field3 from table1 where (condition)
Union
select field1, field2, field3 from table2 where (condition)
Union
select field1, field2, field3 from table3 where (condition)
Union
select field1, field2, field3 from table4 where (condition)
order by (fields)

Use a UNION query. For example,
SELECT emp_id,emp_name,emp_birthday FROM employees_1
UNION
SELECT emp_id,emp_name,emp_birthday FROM employees_2
Or use Query Analyzer to create a VIEW then use that from CCS:
CREATE VIEW Master_Employee_List
AS
SELECT emp_id,emp_name,emp_birthday FROM employees_1
UNION
SELECT emp_id,emp_name,emp_birthday FROM employees_2
