Answer / prasanna
Using lookup is equivalent to outer join on source table.
As Bhavani said, if you want to join 2 heterogeneous
sources you cannot join in SQ. Then you need to use join.
Ex: you have 2 sources. One is a table in a DB and another
is a faltfile then you can only join using joiner.
Adv: you can perform operations similar to inner, left
outer, right outer and full outer. But using a lookup its
equivalent to left outer join on source.
It's always better to join a table which is small in SQ
then creating a lookup on it for better performance

Answer / k.rameshyadav
Lookup T/R is always is an alternate for joiner.
If the sources are same i.e homogenous we can perform join at database level.

Hi, I've a mapping with flat file source The target update override property for the target table is using update stmt. There is no update strategy between source and target. Also The session has the target properties as Insert , Update as update options checked. Does this mean that recs will be inserted only and the update override will not be applied at all. Thanks
