You can use UNION to combine queries.

ex.

SELECT Name, City FROM Suppliers

WHERE Country = 'Mexico'

UNION SELECT Name, City FROM Customers

WHERE Country = 'Mexico'

Create View v1

as

Select Eno,Ename from e1.dbo.emp

where Eno = 5

Union All

Select Eno,Ename from e1.dbo.empmast

where Eno = 5

Now,

Select Eno,Ename from v1

How many rows are in each table? How many rows are you expecting in the output? What are the table structures? Identity columns are not essential for joining tables.

There's very little information to work with; you won't get an answer straight away, instead you will get a barrage of questions until enough is known about your problem. The following link provides guidelines on how to post a question to get an answer quickly:

Karthik, why not just join the two tables on Eno? 😉

Not enough information. Please post your table structure and give us an idea what the data looks like and what you want returned.
