Column Join#

group column_join

Enums

enum class has_nested : bool#

Enum to indicate whether the distinct join table has nested columns or not.

Values:

enumerator YES#

enumerator NO#

enum class nullable_join : bool#

The enum class to specify if any of the input join tables (build table and any later probe table) has nulls.

This is used upon hash_join object construction to specify the existence of nulls in all the possible input tables. If such null existence is unknown, YES should be used as the default option.

Values:

enumerator YES#

enumerator NO#
