Tables > Update improvment

What inspired this wish list request? We are working a lot with Tables menu (join, update, concatenate...) and we need to write some jsl to do what we have to do and we are thinking that performances will be better if these features could be jmp natives.

 

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

  1. Update (data type): when we want to update table01 with table02 data, we have to check the data type. If the targeted column on table01 is defined as  numeric, this one can not be update if source column of table02 is defined as character.
  2. Update (insert new row) : Could it be possible to add an option in the update plateform to have a way to make a concatenate operation only on rows thats are in the table02 but not in table01 (based on matching column key).

 

 

Why is this idea important? 

time saving
better performance
easier data handling operation

 

Thanks

Guillaume

Tables/Update (insert new row) is Tables/Join, right?
