Solution 1

You could use a View, something like this:

SQL

CREATE VIEW [Your_View_Name]
AS
SELECT DistrictID, ECDName as Name FROM ECD
UNION
SELECT DistrictID, SchoolName as Name FROM Schools

It is stored under Views.

Hi MBalentle,

In my opinion converting it to a StoredProcedure is better because if the need for some filtering arises you can simply pass some parameters to that stored procedure and adapt that storedprocedure to the new requirements.

Sorry, but create a temp view is a huge waste of resources for this. Solution 1 is the correct way to deal with this.
