A logical doubt

Hi,

I have a small doubt.

If we do an inner join on the basis of dummy column then the records get duplicate as it will do a cartesian product.

Is it same in the case of left outer join.......can we get duplicacies???

Change capture or Left Join

Hi,

I need to insert the new records into the target. In this case I can use either a Join stage(left join) or a change capture stage.

Please let me know which is recommended for better performance.
