You could exploit DISTINCT ON for this. Something like: select distinct on (id) id,value from (select *,'a' tablename from a where id=1 union all select *,'b' tablename from b where id=1) ab order by id,tablename; Assuming that id is what you want to be unique. -- David Rowley http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
