Minus Tool

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.
