All i want to do is create one mysql VIEW named "mysqlView", taking these two tables with extra one column 'from_table'. if the rows are from tableA this field will have value A and when from tableB it has value B.

watsmyname Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 thanks for the reply, yes like a join, but here we've to join two tables to create one view. This view contains all the columns of both tables plus one extra column to specify whether the row is from table A or table B.

fenway Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'm not sure I understand why you need to know... unless these two tables were UNION-able. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/234329-creating-mysql-view/#findComment-1206394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
