Create Merge Query

Version 4.0.24.20 (latest)

Create Merge Query

Creates a new merge query object.

A merge query takes the results of one or more queries and combines (merges) the results according to field mapping definitions. The result is similar to a SQL left outer join.

A merge query can merge results of queries from different SQL databases.

The order that queries are defined in the source_queries array property is significant. The first query in the array defines the primary key into which the results of subsequent queries will be merged.

Like model/view query objects, merge queries are immutable and have structural identity - if you make a request to create a new merge query that is identical to an existing merge query, the existing merge query will be returned instead of creating a duplicate. Conversely, any change to the contents of a merge query will produce a new object with a new id.
