I have two tables , one of which has a clob columna and the other varchar2.

  1. temp_clob( id number, name clob )
  2. temp_varchar ( id number, name varchar )

I would like to have a select with union something like

select id, name from temp_clob
union
select id, name from temp_varchar.

It gives error :
" expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression" How do I solve this.
