What is a diff between joiner and lookup transformation
Answer Posted / eswar
Use the Joiner transformation to join source data from two
related heterogeneous sources residing in different
locations or file systems. You can also join data from the
same source. The Joiner transformation joins sources
with at least one matching column. The Joiner
transformation uses a condition that matches one or more
pairs of columns between the two sources.
Use a Lookup transformation in a mapping to look up data in
a flat file, relational table, view, or synonym.The
Integration Service queries the lookup source based on the
lookup ports in the transformation and a lookup condition.
The Lookup transformation returns the result of the lookup
to the target or another transformation.
The Joiner transformation supports only equi joins and
Lookup Transformation supports equi and non-equi joins
The Joiner transformation lieterally joins two columns
whereas Lookup transformation return a column based on the
condition, but it will not joint two columns.
