Joins two tables based on a selected column value in the TOP input table matching a Wilcard pattern contained in the BOTTOM input table.
Standard SQL wildcards are used by default:
% = match any character
_ (underscore) = match a single character
The configuration allows you to specify alternative wildcards
e.g.
* match any
? match single.
This version of the Join Like component additionally returns the unmatched rows from both input tables, and optionally allows you to return the ROWID from each of the input data sources as separate columns making it easier to analyse the resultant joins
This is a convenience to allow alternative/familiar wildcards to be used.
Note though that even when supplying different wildcards, the built in % and _ will remain operational.
