Attribute Class Join Properties Dialog Box: General Tab
Use this dialog box to create a new join operation or to modify
an existing join operation.
Caution Join operations
are an advanced function of Microsoft SQL Server. Before
configuring or modifying a join operation, you must have a good
working knowledge of the Structured Query Language (SQL) syntax
that is needed to create or modify various types of table joins.
For more information about join operations, see your
SQL Server documentation.
The Attribute Class Join Properties tab includes the
following fields.

matching results for the join attribute.

becomes a child of the selected attribute class in the tree. Click

will be used in the join. The default operator is "is equal
to."
Base attribute

operation. The attribute class selected in Join attribute,
defined earlier, will be joined to this attribute class. You cannot
change the base attribute class; however, you can click
Select to change the base attribute.

Click to open the Select Attribute
dialog box, which you can use to select a different base
attribute. The attribute class and optional alias are unavailable
