## Unions


SELECT *
FROM employee_demographics;


# the default union is actually union distinct
SELECT first_name, last_name
FROM employee_demographics
UNION
SELECT first_name, last_name
FROM employee_salary
;


# but you can override it with union all
SELECT first_name, last_name
FROM employee_demographics
UNION ALL
SELECT first_name, last_name
FROM employee_salary
;


# for immoral budget reasons, we want to find old OR highly paid employees
# you can use multiple selects and unions to add cols where certain conditions apply - similar to an R mutate (case_when())
