  I'm doing research for an article on union queries. I'm
  interested in finding examples of problems that were solved
  using UNION, UNION ALL, INTERSECT, or MINUS, with the latter
  two being of special interest because I don't see them used
  very often. If you can think of an interesting problem
  you've solved using one of these keywords, I'd love to hear
  about it.
  
 
 UNION is useful to implement arcs.
 INTERSECT I've used very successfully
 with two CONNECT BY queries to retrieve all 
 possible paths of travel between two points 
 A and B in a table that implements flight legs.
 So don't go around saying it isn't used: I need
 it or the RAAF can't book people to flights. ;)
