使用UNION ALL保留结果

Question

我有一个使用UNION ALL关键字创建的查询。问题是，当其中一个SELECT返回一个空集时，它将被丢弃。我需要它至少返回NULL或空行。

如果你为每个SELECT都有一个唯一的索引，我会在某处读到它，它会阻止丢弃，但它无效。

使用循环创建查询，因此日期索引（即“2013-Jun”）会发生变化，只显示一个选择。

SELECT `products`.`id`, `products`.`ugid`, CONCAT(`products`.`fsg_pre`, `products`.`fsg_suff`) AS `fsg`, `year`, 'Mar' AS `month`, '2012-Mar' AS `index`, `Mar` AS `price`
FROM `prices`
JOIN `products`
ON (`products`.`uuid` = `prices`.`uuid`)
WHERE TRUE
AND `products`.`ugid` = '52777'
AND `products`.`fsg_pre` = 'SU'
AND `products`.`fsg_suff` = '3'
AND `year` = 2012

UNION ALL

Answer 1

为什么不按照IMSoP的建议使用LEFT JOIN，如：

SELECT `products`.`id`, `products`.`ugid`, CONCAT(`products`.`fsg_pre`,
`products`.`fsg_suff`) AS `fsg`, `year`, 'Mar' AS `month`, '2012-Mar' AS `index`, 
`Mar` AS `price`
 FROM `prices`
 LEFT JOIN `products`
 ON `products`.`uuid` = `prices`.`uuid`
 WHERE `products`.`ugid` = '52777'
 AND `products`.`fsg_pre` = 'SU'
 AND `products`.`fsg_suff` = '3'
 AND `year` = 2012

或FULL JOIN总是空行或不行。

 SELECT `products`.`id`, `products`.`ugid`, CONCAT(`products`.`fsg_pre`,
`products`.`fsg_suff`) AS `fsg`, `year`, 'Mar' AS `month`, '2012-Mar' AS `index`, 
`Mar` AS `price`
 FROM `prices`
 FULL JOIN `products`
 ON `products`.`uuid` = `prices`.`uuid`
 WHERE `products`.`ugid` = '52777'
 AND `products`.`fsg_pre` = 'SU'
 AND `products`.`fsg_suff` = '3'
 AND `year` = 2012
