How to combine two tables and add a new column with records in MySQL?


Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable1
   -> (
   -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
   -> Name varchar(100)
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.76 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1(Name) values('Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable1(Name) values('Robert');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable1;

Output

+----+--------+
| Id | Name   |
+----+--------+
|  1 | Chris  |
|  2 | Robert |
+----+--------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to create second table −

mysql> create table DemoTable2
   -> (
   -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
   -> Name varchar(100)
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.48 sec)

Insert some records in the second table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable2(Name) values('David');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.53 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable2(Name) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)

Display all records from the second table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable2;

Output

+----+-------+
| Id | Name  |
+----+-------+
|  1 | David |
|  2 | Bob   |
+----+-------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to add a new column to the union of two tables −

mysql> select Id,Name, 27 AS Age from DemoTable1
   -> union
   -> select Id,name,20 AS Age from DemoTable2;

Output

+----+--------+-----+
| Id | Name   | Age |
+----+--------+-----+
|  1 | Chris  | 27  |
|  2 | Robert |  27 |
|  1 | David  | 20  |
|  2 | Bob    | 20  |
+----+--------+-----+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
