[SOLVED] Joining "vertically" 2 tables which have the same columns

hi,

I have 2 tables: offers and requests, which both have all of the same columns: memberNo, timestamp, categoryNo, itemTitle and itemDesc. I want to view them both as one big table under the same columns (but not permanently).

I know I could always just make one table in the first place with a field to distinguish between offers and requests, but i'm just wondering if it can be done.

anyone know?

Using 1 table w/ a type field would have been a better design.

SELECT 'offer' AS type, memberNo, timestamp, categoryNo, itemTitle, itemDesc
FROM offers
     UNION
SELECT  'request' AS type, memberNo, timestamp, categoryNo, itemTitle, itemDesc
FROM requests
