How to join a Flat and Relational Source without using (Joiner, Update and Lookup ) transformations..

Answer / aakansha

It is not possible to join a flat file and relational source
without joiner/lookup. Source qualifier is used for
heterogeneous source...means source belongs to same
database...in the ur case flat file and relational source
not belong to same database so...we cant join it into SQ.

How to join a Flat and Relational Source without using (Joiner, Update and Lookup ) transformations..

Answer / abhishek upadhyay

Hi All,

Whatever you all have mentioned is true.....that the source
qualifier joins only homogenous tables and as per the
question we can not use a joiner.

But,
If it is a normal join we can do this by using lookup
transformation between those two files.......
In case of full outer or left outer or right outer joins
this will not work..Thanks a lot.

Answer / mallikarjun

Hi Ajith,
It is Possible to Join data from a flat file and a relation
source, this can be done with the help of a joiner
transformation where you have to map one input port to the
relation data column and other to the flat file coumn and
give the joiner condition.. Hope this will help you or drop
a mail...


Thanks & Regards,
Mallikarjun
