preceding load visual diagram

Hi, all!

I've read a lot about preceding loads and have done my very own super-low-tech diagram.

Did I get it right? Please ignore the SQL * for the database query. I was just too lazy to write the fields again.

You did get it right, but you can also do a preceding load on a preceding load for a better performance increase especially when using mapping tables.  You won't see much of a performance gain if you aren't performing an expression in your load.  Take the following example:

UnitCost_Map:

MAPPING LOAD

ProductID,

UnitCost;

SQL SELECT * FROM Products;

LOAD LineSalesAmount - CostOfGoodsSold AS Margin,

*

;

Order Details:

LOAD

LineSalesAmount - CostOfGoodsSold AS Margin,

*

;

LOAD

Discount,

LineNo,

OrderID,

ProductID,

Quantity,

UnitPrice,

UnitPrice * Quantity * (1 - Discount) AS LineSalesAmount,

applymap('UnitCost_Map', ProductID, 0) * Quantity AS CostOfGoodsSold;

SQL SELECT * FROM 'Order Details';

Camilla,

"Thanks" is nice, but you can also mark sunindia's answer as correct, and thus give him some points

You can mark your own answer as correct, but no points will be added.

Thanks, Nick - I almost put a note in my original post that I was assuming that there would be additional preceding loads, and that there would be aliases, expressions, etc....I just kept it very simple!
