Hi
Yes, tUnite need the to have the same schema for the 2 input, the output will depends on the schema of tUnite if you ignore this, the output will union all the records from the 2 input, but some of columns will empty if input don't have these columns. For example:
input1:
id;name
1;shong
2;elise
3;mike
input2:
id
4
5
6
the schema of tUnite has two column: id, name
output:
id;name
1;shong
2;elise
3;mike
4;
5;
6;
Please note that the data type of column should be same, othewise, it has compilation error.
Best regards
Shong

Hi
Try the tUnite component, eg:
tMysqlInput_1--main--tUnite--tMap
|
tMysqlInput_2

Hi
No, tUnite requires all the inputs should have the same schema. Where will you store the result after merging the two results? File? If so, you can append the records into a exiting file.

Thanks shong,
I'll be using the output again to a select statement. Here's what I am trying to pertain for visualization.

SELECT //HERE IS MY MAIN SQL STATEMENT
.
.
.
FROM
(
SELECT // This is my first table
. // my first tInputDB
.
.
FROM
......

UNION ALL // Here what will I use here? tMap or tUnite???

SELECT //This is my second table
. // my second InputDB
.
.
FROM
............
) tbl
FROM
...
LEFT JOIN
.......
WHERE
.......
ORDER BY
......

They have different schema so in that case tUnite is not an option ,I hope you get the hit, Help me out.
Thanks,

Hi
UNION/UNION ALL requires the two select statement should have the same columns and data type!
tUnite can fit your need, yo can filter columns so that they have same columns before tUnite, merge the records from the two tables and insert them into a target table. Finally, execute the main select statement. The job looks like:
tMysqlInput_1--main--tFilterColmn---tUnite---tMysqlOutput_1(merge all the records and insert into table tbl)
|
tFilterColumn
|
tMysqlInput_2
|
onsubjobok
|
tMysqlInput_3
On tMysqlInput_3:
"
SELECT //HERE IS MY MAIN SQL STATEMENT
.
.
.
FROM
tbl
......
LEFT JOIN
.......
WHERE
.......
ORDER BY
......"

Thanks Shong, Sorry I understand what you're trying to say. It's just I have a different situation well actually the statement for union goes like this that keeps me
knowing if it's possible with different schema.

Anyways Again,
thank you very much shong, In some way your layout is like in my draft plan.
And oh btw, I'm trying the job and it seems in tUnite needs to have same schema for the 2 input it still works and has an output. Any ideas what may happen if I ignore this?

input1:
id;name
1;shong
2;elise
3;mike
input2:
id
4
5
6
the schema of tUnite has two column: id, name
output:
id;name
1;shong
2;elise
3;mike
4;
5;
6;
Please note that the data type of column should be same, othewise, it has compilation error.

Shong, What if in the process the data type is changed for example in my case the transaction_id was an integer and after executing the statement.
It changed to an object data type.
Having a hard time @_@ getting the right job for my statement.

Shong - how can I do a union all on 2 inputs using the tELTMap component?  I'm trying to use this instead of a tmap to push the processing down to Redshift

 

Thanks
