Adding every other field of two separate rows together.

Question

Hi,
We're using Oracle 11.1.
I's like to add two rows from two different queries together,
I'd like it to look something like:
with
a as
( select 'a' q,'b' r,'c' s,'d' t,'e' u from dual),
b as
( select '1' q, '2' r,'3' s,'4' t,'5' u from dual)
select a.q, b.r, a.s, b.t, a.u from a, b;The trouble is I'm already using WITH and both the 'real queries' get their data from the progressive WITH statements already up top.
I'd like to add every other field from each query to a result row.
I have to use only SQL.
Is there a way I can use UNION and combine the rows using dummy fields for the fields I don't want to use?
Some something like
I know this isn't right but...it sort of what I want to do.
select * from
( select 'a' q,' ' r,'c' s,' ' t,'e' u from dual
union
select '1' q, '2' r,' ' s,'4' t,' ' u from dual);Anybody?

Answer 1

Can u try using join.
select a.q, b.r, a.s, b.t, a.u from
(select 'a' q,'b' r,'c' s,'d' t,'e' u from dual) as a,
( select '1' q, '2' r,'3' s,'4' t,'5' u from dual) as b;
This will result in a Cartesian join, but if you have a common column between a & b, then you can use it in the where clause.
