Coalesce

Transform map setting marking fields used to match incoming rows to existing records for update instead of insert.

Definition

If coalesce fields match an existing record it is updated; otherwise a new record is inserted. Multiple coalesce fields must all match.

Exam tip

With no coalesce field, every import row inserts a new record.
