The best answer is "it depends". If the database server has spare capacity and/or if the join columns are indexed then chances are that the join will be resolved faster in the database. But the job will have to wait until the first row is delivered from the database.

Well, it can count missing values and count non-missing values in Calculation aggregation. If you have no missing values then the count of non-missing values will be what you want. If you do, you could add both counts in a downstream Transformer stage.

You can't directly.

You could take an export of the project and search the export file for the data set name, then figure out in which job's scope it occurs.

And remember that there's usually more than one job.

Use your Import menu to import an Orchestrate table definition and point the dialog to the ".ds" file that describes the Data Set. If this has already been done, then use a Where Used analysis to determine which jobs use the Data Set. It's usual that at least two jobs touch a Data Set - on...
