Not possible. Technique 1 was specifically "add a dummy column". Use a column generator stage upstream on each input link to the Join stage.

480MB is not a problem. VarChar(999) may be, since the default maximum key size in a hashed file is 768. Hashed files need to be 64-bit only if there is any likelihood they will exceed 2GB in size. The size of the VarChar does not have any impact on storage in a hashed file; only the required amount...

The cat command will use hardly any resources at all. The files are already on disk. Output from the cat command is not written to disk; it becomes the input to the sequential file stage. If you like the effect is that of

Code: Select all
