UNION and UNION ALL in sql server

Hi,
In This article we will What is UNION and UNION ALL? What is difference between both?
and details about both.

1) Union and Union All::-

The purpose of the SQL UNION
and UNION ALL commands are to combine the results of two or more queries
into a single result set consisting of all the rows belonging to all the queries
in the union.
but their is one condition a column count and datatype of all must same when you use union .
The question becomes whether or not to use the ALL syntax.

2)What is difference between Union and Union All?

The difference between Union and Union all is that Union all
will not eliminate duplicate rows, instead it just pulls all
rows from all tables fitting your query specifics and combines them into a table.

A UNION statement effectively does a SELECT DISTINCT on the results set.
If you know that all the records returned are unique from your union,
use UNION ALL instead, it gives faster results.

In simple word a union is give you a distinct data from both query,and
union all is give all data with all duplicate records.in case of union all
their is no need to check duplicate records thats why a union all is faster than
union.

 create table #emp(Emp_name varchar(100),dept varchar(50), emp_sal int)
insert into #emp(Emp_name ,dept , emp_sal)values('adi','IT',123)
insert into #emp(Emp_name ,dept , emp_sal)values('raj','IT',1231)
insert into #emp(Emp_name ,dept , emp_sal)values('nisha','WC',1232)
insert into #emp(Emp_name ,dept , emp_sal)values('shehal','WC',1233)
insert into #emp(Emp_name ,dept , emp_sal)values('kiran','aw',1234)
insert into #emp(Emp_name ,dept , emp_sal)values('shehal','WC',1233)
insert into #emp(Emp_name ,dept , emp_sal)values('kiran','aw',1234)


create table #manager(manager_name varchar(100),dept varchar(50), manager_sal int) insert into #manager(manager_name,dept ,manager_sal )values ('sandip','admin',5000)
insert into #manager(manager_name,dept ,manager_sal )values ('aditya','admin',5000)
insert into #manager(manager_name,dept ,manager_sal )values ('pranav','admin',5000)
insert into #manager(manager_name,dept ,manager_sal )values ('ajit','admin',5000)
insert into #manager(manager_name,dept ,manager_sal )values ('harshal','admin',5000)
insert into #manager(manager_name,dept ,manager_sal )values ('ajit','admin',5000)
insert into #manager(manager_name,dept ,manager_sal )values ('harshal','admin',5000)
insert into #manager(manager_name,dept ,manager_sal )values ('ajit','admin',5000)
insert into #manager(manager_name,dept ,manager_sal )values ('harshal','admin',5000)
