Need Help??

Hi Community,

I have one table like,

Load *, Stu_Num & ID as Key

weere Exists(Stu_Num);

Load ID,

        Stu_Num,

        Name,

        Designation

From Table_Name;

Here, what is the use of Exists() Function??

Please anyone can Explain....??

This is an odd use of Exists(), my guess would be that it does.... nothing. Except possibly excluding any null values in Stu_Num.

As Jonathan said it could possibly exclude null values, but I would do that in a resident load instead.

Hi Jonathan,

I am Little Confusion, If i am using Exists(ID)  i am not getting records.

check the previous table for the stu_num field.

This exists will load only the stu_num loaded from the previous table

Hi

Use it in the following way

Test:

LOAD id,

     date,

     cost

FROM

(qvd);

Test1:

LOAD *, id & date as ID1 Resident Test

   

Where Exists(id);

DROP Table Test;
