SQL help

Hi DBAs,

I have a query something like

SELECT sysdate,'txt1','txt2'
FROM dual
UNION
SELECT date1,txtfield1,txtfield2
FROM t1,t2,...,tn
WHERE
....... ;

The output would be one header record from the first select then the data from the second select.
If there are no records selected in second select the header record is still selected. If there are no
records in second select I do not want header record selected. How can I suppress it? I do not want to apply the where clause in 2nd select to the first because of the complexity.

Thanks
Rick
