Answer / sweta kedia
A. Connected Lookup
Receives input values directly from the pipeline.
We can use a dynamic or static cache
Supports user-defined default values
Unconnected Lookup
Receives input values from the result of a :LKP expression
in another transformation.
We can use a static cache
Does not support user-defined default values
When you compared both basically connected lookup will
return more values and unconnected returns one value. conn
lookup is in the same pipeline of source and it will accept
dynamic caching. Unconn lookup don't have that faclity but
in some special cases we can use Unconnected. if output of
one lookup is going as input of another lookup this
unconnected lookups are favourable
Moreover if the mapping requires multiple lookup using same
lookup conditions then its better to use unconnected lookup
& call the lookup wherever required.This also prevents the
mapping from being complex.

Answer / v.ramakrishna
when it comes to the matter of performance optimization we
can understand the diff between conn lookup and unconn
lookup y bcoz in conncted lookup it will give more than one
output. when compared with the performance of unconn lookup
it is some what slower bcoz the execution times in conn
lookup is equal with no of records present in source . so
it will increase running time . where as in unconn lookup
it executes only for records which satisfy the given
condition so no need to call lookup for each and every
record unneccesarily. so it leads to performance
development in unconn lookup compared wth conn lookup.

Answer / jeevan kumar medapati
if u want to perform look up on less values then we go for
connected lkp
if u want to perform look up from more than one table then
we go for un connected lkp
in ur source u have more date columns then we should go for
unconnected lkp.

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT PORT IN DYNAMIC CACHE WHICH IS USED FOR INSERT , UPDATE OPRATION ?
What is a difference between complete, stop and abort?
i have one source 52 million records i want target only 7 records ?how wil you do what logic to implement?
Is stop and abort are same in informatica?
where is the reject loader .
Explain what is informatica metadata and where is it stored?
How to enter same record twice in the target table,explain?
The Source coloumns are A,B,C with data row1- 10,20,30 row2- 40,50,60 row3-70,80,90 and so on. In the target I want one coloumn with the following data, Coloumn-X, row1-10,row2- 20,row3-30,row4-40,row5-50 and so on. How to achieve this?
what we require for D.modelling?
SO many times i saw "$PM parser error " .what is meant by PM?
How can you recognise whether or not the newly added rows in the source r gets insert in the target ?
How can we join the tables if they don't have primary and foreign key relationship and no matching port?
