Under the join ribbon, could there be a new tool added called Minus?
This would behave similar to how SQL Minus works. I think this tool could closely resemble the setup found in the union tool and provide the following functions:
- Ability to manually configure fields
- Automatically configure by name
- Automatically configure by position
- Ability to (de-select extraneous columns)
- Option to either include ALL rows, or just the distinct (similar to the minus and minus all behavior in SQL)
When doing validations in a workflow, this would provide a useful dq measure to use as a sanity check to ensure that for example loan numbers haven't been dropped from one point of the workflow to the next.
