Symmetrical Outer Join

Description

Alpha Anywhere allows you to create a symmetrical outer join with several steps.

1. You join table A to B -> C, including all of table A's records.

   

2. Then you join B to A -> D, including only the records where you have a matching link field.

   

3. You subtract D from B -> E.

   

4. Then you append C to E.
