what is the main differences between Lookup, Join and Merge
stages?

Answer Posted / venugopal [patni]

The 3 stages differ mainly in the memory they use,
treatment of rows with unmatched & their requirements for
data being input.
In detailed:
Lookup is used for less amount of data becausu it will
takes the data from source and store in buffer so every
time it process from buffer.
Join is used for huge amount of data because it directly
takes the data from disk so it process faster than lookup.
Joiner is used to join with different join conditions.
Merge is also used for huge amount of data. Merge has the
same number of reject links as there are updated updated
input links.
