The purpose of the SQL UNION ALL command is to combine the results of two or more queries into a single result set consisting of all the rows belong to all queries in the union.
The main difference between UNION ALL and UNION is that, while UNION only selects distinct values, UNION ALL selects all values (including duplicates).
