Indeed. One of the great things about UniVerse and UniData is that you can use SQL against your files. SQL is a great way to do quick updates too (carefull, it is a very sharp knife).
If you don't have a good SQL book, get one. I have the advantage of being required to support a couple of Micro$oft SQL servers along with the UniVerse machines. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Wallis Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 3:15 AM To: 'U2 Users Discussion List' Subject: RE: [UD] Union Query Gordon J.

Gordon, you should now better! ;^) sql> SELECT NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE ZIP FROM ORDER_FILE UNION SELECT sql> NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE ZIP FROM ORDER_FILE_OTHER; All you need here Ed is a VOC pointer to each file that is SQL compatible - ie no "." dots etc. There is no need to build a schema or set up ODBC or do anything complicated in UniData just to query a file with SQL from the command line.
