Is it possible to manually connect tables in data model?

I'm having a problem about connecting entities to another. Is there a possible way how to connect entities manually from primary key to foreign key? Thanks for your help!

The only way that Qlik allows relations between tables is by having fields have exactly the same name.

It is our opinion that things should only have 1 name.

Within Qlik there is no such thing as primary key or foreign key. This has to do with the different way that Qlik handles data.

So, your solution:

Rename fields in your script, preferably in your preceding load:

wrongFieldName as RightFieldName,

May you live in interesting times!

If you left the thinking in SQL logics behind you it's not difficult to create working datamodels within qlikview - have a special look on the first 3 links in Get started with developing qlik datamodels but the other are of course helpful, too.
