Join (In Database) (In-Database Processing)

Synopsis

Performs a join operation between two inputs using the specified keys.

Description

This operator implements the well-known (equi-)join operation. It can be inner, left, right or outer join. The list of keys can be defined in a parameter. The operator can remove duplicate columns (based on their name), or keep them.

Input

  • left

  • right

Output

  • union

Parameters

  • remove double attributes Indicates if double attributes should be removed or renamed.
  • join type Specifies which join should be executed.
  • key attributes The attributes which shall be used for join. Attributes which shall be matched must be of the same type.
  • keep both join attributes If checked, both columns of a join pair will be kept. Usually this is unneccessary since both attributes are identical.
