SET Problem

There are two tables Fruit and Vegetable table. The Fruit table has a FruitID and a Name column and the Vegetable table has a VegetableID and Name column. Create a list of fruits and vegetables that includes any potential duplicate values. Ensure that it is in alphabetical order so that the duplicates are next to each other!

My Code: SELECT * FROM FRUIT UNION ALL SELECT * FROM Vegetable WHERE Name;

Thats the correct line:

'''sql SELECT name FROM FRUIT UNION ALL SELECT name FROM Vegetable ORDER BY Name ASC; '''

Your WHERE clause is incomplete.

It would need some kind of comparison expression, not just a column name. However:

  • from the instructions, it doesn't seem like you will need a WHERE clause at all
  • but you will need an ORDER BY clause to sort the output by name
  • only the names need to be selected

I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit spoiler.
