What is diff between connected and unconnected lookup?

Answer Posted / padmavathi

Connected Lookup:
Part of the mapping dataflow.
Returns multiple values by linking output ports to
another transformation
Executed for every record passing through the transformation
More Visible, shows where the lookup values are used.

Unconnected Lookup:
Seperate from the mapping dataflow.
Returns one value by checking the return port option for
the output that provides the return value
only executed when the lookup function is called
Less visible, as the look is called from an expression
within another transformation
Default values are ignored
