MySQL select uniques from two different tables?

Question

I have two different tables, and I want to get the uniques as if they where a single table. The table structures are the same. I have tried UNION , UNION DISTINCT , SELECT DISTINCT with a UNION , and all kinds of things. But I am still getting duplicates and stuff.

Is there anyways to get the unique email address along with other data

SELECT DISTINCT email_address, first_name, last_name,
    street_address, city, postal_code, province, created_date
FROM entries
WHERE subscribe='1'

That gets it from one table.

Note, if I just wanted the email address, UNION works. But when I add the other data it doesn't do anything anymore.

Answer 1

Try this

SELECT email_address, first_name, last_name,
    street_address, city, postal_code, province, created_date
FROM 
    (SELECT * FROM entries WHERE subscribe='1'
    UNION
    SELECT * FROM entries2 WHERE subscribe='1') AS tmp
GROUP BY email_address

Answer 2

    (SELECT /*Fields*/ FROM entries e1)
    UNION
    (SELECT /*same Fields*/ FROM entries2 e2)
    WHERE subscribe=1
    GROUP BY email_address
