DomesticSalesOrders
UNION ALL SELECT
SalesOrderId,
SalesAmountFROM
InternationalSalesOrder s ) AS p
B.    SELECT COUNT(*) AS
NumberOfSales,
SUM(SalesAmount) AS
TotalSalesAmount
FROM (SELECT SalesOrderId, SalesAmountFROM
DomesticSalesOrders
UNION SELECT
SalesOrderId,
SalesAmountFROM
InternationalSalesOrder s ) AS p
C.    SELECT COUNT(*) AS
NumberOfSales,
SUM(SalesAmount) AS
TotalSalesAmountFROM DomesticSalesOrders
