Inclui linhas duplicadas

Criando novos nomes de colunas no resultado final

SELECT 
  album_id AS ALBUM_ID, 
  title AS ALBUM_TITLE, 
  artist_id AS ARTIST_ID 
FROM album 
WHERE artist_id IN(1, 3) 
UNION ALL 
SELECT 
  album_id AS ALBUM_ID, 
  title AS ALBUM_TITLE, 
  artist_id AS ARTIST_ID 
FROM album 
WHERE artist_id IN(1, 4, 5)

+------------+-------------------------+------------|
| ALBUM_ID   | ALBUM_TITLE             | ARTIST_ID  |
|------------+-------------------------|------------|
| 1          | For Those About To Rock | 1          |

Resumo

UNION ou UNION ALL: combina consultas da mesma tabela ou de tabelas diferentes

Se combinar dados de tabelas diferentes:

Selecione o mesmo número de colunas na mesma ordem
As colunas devem ter os mesmos tipos de dados

Se as tabelas tiverem nomes de colunas diferentes

Use alias para os nomes das colunas

UNION: remove duplicatas (execução mais lenta)

UNION ALL: mantém duplicatas (mais rápido)

Vamos praticar!
