I am having two tables,say table1 having cols
Empid,firstname,lastname,middlename and table2 having
Empid,firstname,lastname can i union them using Union t/f?

Answer Posted / sudheer

No need to create any dummy column(table-2) and make it as null...
Just create 2 groups as u have 2 tables and create 4 group ports like below Empid,firstname,lastname,middlename.
-Drag respective columns from src to union.
-Don't make any link for middle name from table as we don't have any column but drag all columns from table 2 and save the mapping and run the session.....This will work as i have tested.Thanks......
