Answer / hj

if i were the candidate i would simply say if there are no
transformations to be done, i will simply run an insert
script if the source and target can talk to each other. or
simply source -> source qualifier -> target. if the
interviewer says SQ is a transformation, then say "then i
dont know. i have always used informatica when there is
some kind of transformation involved because that is what
informatica is mainly used for". that will shut him up. :)
trust me, you wont lose the interview for just this
question. personally, whoever asks this qestion is not
there in the interview process to find a good candidate for
the post, he is just there to have some fun torturing
candidates. dont panic. as long as you know answers to
genuine informatica questions and know your business area,
there is always a job waiting for u.

any trasnformation, once you drag the source structure into
designer, the sorce structure will come along with source
qualifier t/r.

withoust using any transformation

Answer / vijay vajja

We can't load the data from source to target without using
any trasnformation.

becoz we are geting SQ trans along with source.
and if we are useing cobal source then we have to use
Normalizer trans.

so it's not posibule to load data from source to target
that with out a transformation.

Answer / suri

it is not possible to load data form source to target with
out using transformation the reason is while loading the
data from source to targets there will be definitely
modifications in changing the data for example to calculate
the rank of the table like that.... simply the interviewer
will twist us . how we r confident in the subject .....
