Hi,
Thank you for the information.
What are the pros and cons of using a concatenate instead of a join?
for example
[LinkTable_20]:
LOAD Distinct
[Company.id] AS [_Company.id_KEY]
RESIDENT [Company];
JOIN
LOAD Distinct
[Projects.CompanyInitiatesId] AS [_Company.id_KEY]
,[Projects.id] AS [_Projects.id_KEY]
RESIDENT [Projects];
JOIN
LOAD Distinct
[Requests.IInitiatingCompanyId] AS [_Company.id_KEY]
,[Requests.UsrProjectId] AS [_Projects.id_KEY]
,[Requests.id] AS [_Requests.id_KEY]
RESIDENT [Requests];
JOIN
LOAD Distinct
[Applications.UsrProjectCompanyInitiateId] AS [_Company.id_KEY]
,[Applications.UsrProjectId] AS [_Projects.id_KEY]
,[Applications.RequestId] AS [_Requests.id_KEY]
,[Applications.id] AS [_Applications.id_KEY]
RESIDENT [Applications];
[LinkTable]:
NoConcatenate
LOAD Distinct *
,[_Company.id_KEY] AS [_Full_Company_Key_DDF]
,[_Company.id_KEY] &' | '& [_Projects.id_KEY] AS [_Full_Projects_Key_DDF]
,[_Company.id_KEY] &' | '& [_Projects.id_KEY] &' | '& [_Requests.id_KEY] AS [_Full_Requests_Key_DDF]
,[_Company.id_KEY] &' | '& [_Projects.id_KEY] &' | '& [_Requests.id_KEY] &' | '& [_Applications.id_KEY] AS [_Full_Applications_Key_DDF]
RESIDENT [LinkTable_20];
DROP TABLE [LinkTable_20];
