Oracle: Combine Two Tables with Different Columns

Question

This is table 1:

col_1  col_2  date_1
-----  -----  ------
1      3      2016
2      4      2015

And this is table 2:

col_3  col_4  date_2
-----  -----  ------
5      8      2014
6      9      2012

I want a result like this:

col_1  col_2  col_3  col_4  date_1  date_2
-----  -----  -----  -----  ------  ------
1      3      NULL   NULL   2016    NULL
2      4      NULL   NULL   2015    NULL
NULL   NULL   5      8      NULL    2014
NULL   NULL   6      9      NULL    2012

Any solutions?

Answer 1

Using Union All and Null as a different column:

SELECT col_1, col_2, NULL as col_3, NULL as col_4,
       date_1, NULL as date_2
FROM table_1

Union All

SELECT NULL, NULL, col_3, col_4, NULL, date_2
FROM table_2

Answer 2

Use union all:

select col_1, col_2, NULL as col_3, NULL as col_4, date_1, NULL as date_2
from table1
union all
select NULL, NULL, col_3, col_4, NULL, date_2
from table2;

Answer 3

Using Join:

select t1.col_1,t1.col_2,t2.col_3,t2.col_4,t1.date_1,t2.date_2
from t1
full join t2
on t1.col_1=t2.col_3
order by t1.col_1;
