Oracle SQL: Multiple Subqueries Unioned Without Running Original Query Multiple Times.
- by Bob
So I've got a very large database, and need to work on a subset ~1% of the data to dump into an excel spreadsheet to make a graph. Ideally, I could select out the subset of data and then run multiple select queries on that, which are then UNION'ed together. Is this even possible? I can't seem to find anyone else trying to do this and would improve the performance of my current query quite a bit. Right now I have something like this:
SELECT (
SELECT (
SELECT(
long list of requirements
)
UNION
SELECT(
slightly different long list of requirements
)
)
)
and it would be nice if i could group the commonalities of the two long requirements and have simple differences between the two select statements being unioned.
