UNION provides only distinct values as output whereas UNION
ALL provides all values.
So UNION ALL seems to be faster than UNION.

Answer / vinod singh kushwah

UNION
The UNION command is used to select related information
from two tables, much like the JOIN command. However, when
using the UNION command all selected columns need to be of
the same data type.

Note: With UNION, only distinct values are selected.

SQL Statement 1
UNION
SQL Statement 2

Employees_Norway:

E_ID E_Name
01 Hansen, Ola
02 Svendson, Tove
03 Svendson, Stephen
04 Pettersen, Kari

Employees_USA:

E_ID E_Name
01 Turner, Sally
02 Kent, Clark
03 Svendson, Stephen
04 Scott, Stephen


------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

Using the UNION Command
Example
List all different employee names in Norway and USA:

SELECT E_Name FROM Employees_Norway
UNION
SELECT E_Name FROM Employees_USA

Result

E_Name
Hansen, Ola
Svendson, Tove
Svendson, Stephen
Pettersen, Kari
Turner, Sally
Kent, Clark
Scott, Stephen

Note: This command cannot be used to list all employees in
Norway and USA. In the example above we have two employees
with equal names, and only one of them is listed. The UNION
command only selects distinct values.


UNION ALL
The UNION ALL command is equal to the UNION command, except
that UNION ALL selects all values.

SQL Statement 1
UNION ALL
SQL Statement 2


------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

Using the UNION ALL Command
Example
List all employees in Norway and USA:

SELECT E_Name FROM Employees_Norway
UNION ALL
SELECT E_Name FROM Employees_USA

Result

E_Name
Hansen, Ola
Svendson, Tove
Svendson, Stephen
Pettersen, Kari
Turner, Sally
Kent, Clark
Svendson, Stephen
Scott, Stephen

Answer / vaithianathan

union displays only different values in the multiple table.
but union all displays all related values.

Answer / krishna kant kumar

The UNION operator returns all rows from two or multiple tables and eliminates any duplicate rows but the UNION ALL operator returns from both queries, including all duplications.
The UNION operator can use DISTINCT keyword but the UNION ALL cannot it.
