Class: JoinDataSource

dojo.require("esri.layers.JoinDataSource")

Description

(Added at v2.7)
The JoinDataSource class defines and provides information about the result of a join operation. Nested joins are supported and are created by specifying either the leftTableSource or rightTableSource to be the joined table.

The output type is determined by the leftTableSource. If the leftTableSource is a table then the resulting join table is a table. If the leftTableSource is a layer then the join result will be a layer.

Note: For the best performance, the left and right table sources should point to the same workspace and the table keys should be indexed.

dataSource.leftTableKey = "sde.sde.states.state_name";

<LayerSource> leftTableSource

The data source to be used as the left table for the join operation. Determines the output join table type. If the leftTableSource is a table then the output is a table. If the leftDataSource is a layer then the resulting join table is a layer.
Sample:
var dataSource = new esri.layers.JoinDataSource();

var leftTableSource = new esri.layers.LayerDataSource();
leftTableSource.dataSource = new esri.layers.TableDataSource({

  dataSourceName: "sde.sde.states"
});

dataSource.leftTableSource = leftTableSource;

<String> rightTableKey

The key field used for the right table source for the join.
Sample:

dataSource.rightTableKey = "sde.sde.statecapitals.state_name";

<LayerSource> rightTableSource

The data source to be used as the right table for the join operation.
Sample:
var dataSource = new esri.layers.JoinDataSource();

var rightTableSource = new esri.layers.LayerDataSource();
rightTableSource.dataSource = new esri.layers.TableDataSource({
  workspaceId: "d203_db",
  dataSourceName: "sde.sde.statecapitals"
});
