just definitions)....i mean in which scenario it is better

Answer Posted / guest

Lookup-

Let suppose you have empno in your source table but the
empno,address,name etc are stored in a lookup table and you
want all detail of employee will be go to target,then look
up is better option.

Lookup is passive transformation and support join on lookup
table basis of src.empno=lkp.empno(+).that means if in the
lookup table not have the source coming empno then it will
return null value for lookup empno.

so let suppose the lookup table is the target table in your
mapping,then you can find out the target table exists the
source record or not.

Joiner

If you want, the join condition satisfied,then the
satisfied all rows should go for next then join condition is
mandatory.Lookup can't do that.
