Dragging and Dropping Join Lines

To add a join by selecting a column name and dragging your pointer to another column:
  1. Place your pointer on one of the columns in a table to use, and then click and drag your pointer to a column in the other table to use in the join.
  2. If you want a join type other than an inner join, select the join, right-click, and then select the join type.
Tip
The first table that is added to the workspace is always set as the left table. You can switch the right table and left table by using the Joins tab.
