Inner Join

Select records from main table that have matching record form join table.

Main table record and join table records are joined together  and show as single record.

Code                                                                                                                                                   

static void JoinExamples(Args _args)                                                                                                      

{                                                                                                             

    CarTable carTable;                                                                                                      

    RentalTable rentalTable;                                                                                                          

    ;                                                                                                          

    while select carTable join rentalTable                                                                                                

        order by carTable.CarId                                                                                                        

        where carTable.CarId == rentalTable.CarId                                                                                                 

                                                                                                               

        {                                                                                                     

            info(strfmt("Car id is %1 renatla id is %2",carTable.CarId, rentalTable.RentalId));                                                                                                  

        }                                                                                                     

}

               

Output                                                                                 

Outer Join                                                                          

                                                                               

Select all the records from main table and related records from join table                                                                                                                                           

If there is no match, the field from join table is empty                                                                   

Code

while select carTable outer  join rentalTable                                                                                                       

        order by carTable.CarId                                                                                                        

        where carTable.CarId == rentalTable.CarId 

Output

Exists Join                                                                                                                                                                                          

Selecting record from main table only if there is matching record in join table.                                   

It shoul be return only main table record, not a related table record.                                                                      

Code

while select carTable Exists  join rentalTable                                                                                                       

        order by carTable.CarId                                                                                                        

        where carTable.CarId == rentalTable.CarId 

Output

 

Not Exists Join                                                                                                                                                                 

Selecting record from main table only if there is not matching record in join table.                           

It is directly irrelevant to the Exists join.                

Output                

           

 

Link Type:  Delayed

A pause is inserted before linked child data sources are updated. This enables faster navigation in the parent data source because the records from child data sources are not updated immediately.

Form Output

Form Design in Data Source Level:

 

Link Type: Active

The child data source is updated immediately when a new record in the parent data source is selected. Continuous updates consume lots of resources.

Link Type: Passive

Linked child data sources are not updated automatically. Updates of the child data source must be programmed on the active method of the master data source.
