Hello all,
I have two tables which I want to combine.
Table A: Date_Key, ProductName, Sales
Table B: Date_Key, ProductName, Sales, CurrRates, CurrUnit
Upon combining the two tables, the result table returned two different date values.
Date_Key of both tables are in the "YYYYMMDD" format.
CONCATENATE(TableA)
LOAD
Date(DATE_KEY,'YYYYMMDD') AS DATE_KEY,
ProductName,
CurrUnit,
Sales
RESIDENT TableB;
DROP TABLE TableB;
It seem like one of my table captured the date field as TEXT while another table captured it as Date. Hence, when appending it result in two different format of values i.e., numeric date and YYYYMMDD.
Is there any way to standardize the type?
