MySQL View: Join tables without causing the data to duplicate on every row?

The solution, as @MarcB suggests, is to use UNION rather than UNION ALL .

If I were going after data like that where two tables are related by an id on the third I would consider using outer joins. In the comments of the question you referenced, outer joins were mentioned as a possible solution. The code for that would look like this.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
