The rightouter
join flavor returns all the records from the right side and only matching records from the left side. This join flavor resembles the leftouter
join flavor, but the treatment of the tables is reversed.

Parameters
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
LeftTable | string |
✔️ | The left table or tabular expression, sometimes called the outer table, whose rows are to be merged. Denoted as $left . |

|
RightTable | string |
✔️ | The right table or tabular expression, sometimes called the inner table, whose rows are to be merged. Denoted as $right . |
Conditions | string |
✔️ | Determines how rows from LeftTable are matched with rows from RightTable. If the columns you want to match have the same name in both tables, use the syntax ON ColumnName. Otherwise, use the syntax ON $left. LeftColumn == $right. RightColumn. To specify multiple conditions, you can either use the "and" keyword or separate them with commas. If you use commas, the conditions are evaluated using the "and" logical operator. |
Tip
For best performance, if one table is always smaller than the other, use it as the left side of the join.

Example
let X = datatable(Key:string, Value1:long)
[
'a',1,
'b',2,
'b',3,
'c',4
];
let Y = datatable(Key:string, Value2:long)
[
'b',10,
'c',20,
'c',30,
'd',40
];
X | join kind=rightouter Y on Key
Output
Key | Value1 | Key1 | Value2 |
---|---|---|---|
b | 2 | b | 10 |
b | 3 | b | 10 |
c | 4 | c | 20 |
c | 4 | c | 30 |
