So, I have two tables, the first has e.g. 4 records, and the second one contains e.g. two rows. They are not related in any way, just want them to be shown together in a way shown on the picture.
I know it could be done by joining them by calculating their row number and using those, but I am curious if is there a way to do the same thing without using a variable. Thank you for your advise, and sorry for my english :)

Yes, there is a way to do it without using variables, just stright SQL
See this demo: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!2/2eeb2/4
Unfortunately, MySql doesn't implement analytic functions like Oracle, Postgre and MS-SQL:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (partition by ... order by ... ) nor rownum pseudocolumn like Oracle, and a performace of queries like this in MySql is very poor.
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT emp.*,
(SELECT count(*)
FROM emp e
WHERE e.empno <= emp.empno
) rownum
FROM emp
) e
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT dept.*,
(SELECT count(*)
FROM dept d
WHERE d.deptno <= dept.deptno
) rownum
FROM dept
) d
ON e.rownum = d.rownum;
