Join

Functionality:

  Join multiple tables in alignment by their dimensions. The alignment join does not require that users take care of the association between tables and allows setting aggregate dimension for each table.

Syntax:

SELECT D.F, T1.f(...), T2.f(...) 

ON D AS A

FROM T1 BY ... 

UNION T2 BY ...

Example:

 

 

SELECT  ReturnedPmt.sum(Amount) Pamount,Orders.sum(Amount) Oamount

ON  YearMonth

FROM Orders BY ShipDate#YearMonth

UNION ReturnedPmt BY Date#YearMonth

Join multiple tables together and calculate total orders amount and payment in each month

SELECT ReturnedPmt.sum(Amount) Pamount,Orders.sum(Amount) Oamount

ON year,EMPLOYEE

FROM Orders BY ShipDate#year,EmployeeID

UNION ReturnedPmt BY Date#year ,SellerID

Join tables by multiple fields and calculate total orders amount and payment in each year for each employee ID

 

Tips:

1) DQL UNION is equivalent to SQL FULL JOIN.

2 ) Need to explicitly write the table a field belongs to and the field to which tables are aligned in BY clause for each table association.
