Yes, the column definitions all match.

The IDs have distinct formats that differ between tables, created by the
legacy system that originated the records (P-nnnn and C-nnnn). Each row also
has an integer primary key that my code uses internally, but I don't need it
in these results.
Thanks for the help, I'm looking forward to playing with UNION ALL when I go
back to work tomorrow, and your tip about eliminating the test is interesting.
Cheers,
