Hi Sunil, UNION queries are defined as standard SQL syntax and are hence defined by all ASNI SQL compliant databases. So u shouldn' thave a problem with UNION. If however u do want to check, i would suggest firing a UNIONquery and checking for an SQLException. It's not very clean, but i guess JDBC drivers do not allow u to access their properties. Hope it helps, -Mohammed

I'm moving this to the "JDBC" forum.

I think there may be some confusion here. Most JDBC drivers simply pass the SQL to the appropriate database, and whether any particular SQL features are supported depends entirely on the database. I have happily used UNION in queries to Oracle 7 through the Oracle 7 thin driver. What database are you using?
Hi You can make use of the of the builtin fuction called supportsUnion() which returns a boolean value . This method is available in DatabaseMetaData interface.
