Join using OR

Hello,

 

I was wondering if there is a way to join two tables in a workflow together but have an OR statement of some sort?

 

My current SQL code follows this logic:

 

Table1 

Left Join Table2

ON Table1.Field1 = Table2.Field1

left join Table3

ON Table1.Field2 = Table3.Field1 OR Table2.Field2 = Table3.Field2

 

Thank you!

Hi @sxyedur 

 

There's not a native way to do to this. What you'd probably need to do is something like this:

  • 1 join tool on table 1 and table 2
  • Join resulting J output to table 3 based on field 1
  • Join any fall outs on field 2
  • Union the results
