- tables: A single table or a vector of tables to append to this one. The
tables are concatenated in the order they are specified, with `self`
being the first one.
- columns_to_keep: Specifies which columns to keep. Defaults to keeping
columns that are present in any of the tables, reporting a warning for
columns that are not present in all tables and adding `Nothing` values
for them.
- match_columns: Specifies how to match the columns.
- If `Match_Columns.By_Name` - the columns are matched by name across
all provided tables.
If unmatched columns are to be dropped, the resulting table will keep
only the set of columns that appear in all provided tables, in the
relative order that they appeared in the `self` table.
If unmatched columns are kept, they are added in the order of
appearance - i.e. first all columns from `self` will be added in the
original order, then any columns from the second table that were not
matched will be added at the end (preserving their relative order),
and so on for all the remaining tables.
- If `Match_Columns.By_Position` - the columns are mapped by position.
If unmatched columns are to be dropped, the resulting table will have
as many columns as the table that had the least columns and the
column names of the first table (`self`) will be used.
If unmatched columns are kept, the resulting table will have as many
columns as the table with the most columns. Since the first table may
not have all the necessary columns to provide column names for the
result, the result will have column names taken from the first table
that has the biggest number of columns.
- keep_unmatched_columns: If set to `True`, unmatched columns are kept
and are padded with `Nothing` for tables that did not have them.
If set to `False`, only the common subset of columns is kept - any
column that is not present in all tables is dropped. Defaults to
`Report_Unmatched`, which behaves like `True` - unmatched columns are
kept and padded with `Nothing`, but a problem is reported.
- allow_type_widening: Specifies if the resulting column type should be
adjusted to fit columns from all arguments. If `True`, a common type
will be chosen for each column (see "Unifying Column Types" below).
If `False`, the resulting column type will be the same as in the first
table containing the column. In this case, all columns that are
concatenated must have the same type as the first one (unless this
had a `Mixed` type - in which case it will accept any other types).
The names of each column come from the first table in which the given
column appears in.
The `List` option is not applicable when mapping columns by position.
Column names are taken from the first table if `In_All` and from the
first table that has the maximum number of columns if `In_Any`
- on_problems: Specifies how to handle problems if they occur, reporting
them as warnings by default.
- If `keep_unmatched_columns` is set to `Report_Unmatched` (the
default):
- If matching by name and there are columns that are not present in
all tables, `Unmatched_Columns` is reported.
- If matching by position and column counts of the merged tables
differ, then a `Column_Count_Mismatch` is reported. The error will
contain the greatest column count as its `expected` value and the
smallest one as its `actual` value.
- If `keep_unmatched_columns` is set to `False` and matching by name,
it is possible that there are no columns that are common to all
provided tables, in that case `No_Output_Columns` is thrown as a
dataflow error regardless of the `on_problems` setting, because there
are no columns to include in the resulting table.
- If type widening is disabled and one of corresponding columns has a
type that is incompatible with the type coming from the first table,
a `Column_Type_Mismatch` is reported. The problematic column will be
dropped from the resulting table. With type widening disabled, the
subsequent tables must have the same types as the first one, unless
the type of the first one was `Mixed` which will accept any other
type.
- If a common type coercion for a set of matched columns from
concatenated tables cannot be found, a `No_Common_Type` is reported.
In warning or ignore mode, the problematic column will be dropped
from the resulting table.
? Unifying Column Types
If `allow_type_widening` is set to `True`, then the following rules are
used to find a common type that will fit values from all merged tables.
Numeric columns are unified by finding the most general type that can
fit all of the columns. The biggest integer type will be chosen and if
Numeric columns are unified by finding the smallest type that can fit
all of the columns. The biggest integer type will be chosen and if
integers and decimals are mixed, the decimal type will be chosen.
If boolean columns are mixed with numeric columns, they will be coerced
to the numeric type (and converted to 0 and 1).
Text types will also be coerced according to the common rules - if
constant-length texts of different lengths are mixed, they will be
coerced to a varying-length type.
Text types will are also unified by finding the smallest type that can
fit all the values. If constant-length texts of different lengths are
mixed, they will be coerced to a varying-length type.
If date and date-time columns are unified, this yields a date-time
column. In-memory, the date is promoted by adding a time of 00:00 and
the system time-zone. In other backends that behaviour may differ.
If one of the matched columns has `Mixed` type, that type will be used
regardless of types of other columns. Mixing any other types will
result in a `No_Common_Type` problem. If columns of incompatible types
are meant to be mixed, at least one of them should be explicitly
retyped to the `Mixed` type to indicate that intention. Note that the
`Mixed` type may not be supported by most Database backends.
union : (DB_Table | Vector DB_Table) -> Match_Columns -> Boolean | Report_Unmatched -> Boolean -> Problem_Behavior -> DB_Table
union self tables:(DB_Table | Vector) match_columns=Match_Columns.By_Name keep_unmatched_columns=Report_Unmatched allow_type_widening=True on_problems=Report_Warning =
regardless of types of other columns. Note that the `Mixed` type may
not be supported by most Database backends.
Finally, if no common type is found using the rules above, everything
is converted to text.
? Problem Conditions
- If no common type is found and the text conversion fallback is used,
the `No_Common_Type` problem is reported.
- The `Float` type may not be able to exactly represent larger
integers, thus if such large integers are mixed with floats, the
resulting conversion to `Float` may cause a loss of precision.
In that case, a `Loss_Of_Integer_Precision` problem is reported.
This warning is only reported in the in-memory backend. Currently,
the Database backend proceeds without a warning about precision loss.
- If a column of dates is unified with a column of date-times, since
the assumption of using the midnight time-of-day is arbitrary,
a `Implicit_Date_As_Date_Time_Conversion` problem is reported.
- If an empty vector of tables is provided, an `Illegal_Argument` error
is raised.
- If `columns_to_keep` is set to `In_All` or `List` and an expected
column is missing in some of the tables, a `Unmatched_Columns`
problem is reported. If this causes the output to contain no columns,
a `No_Output_Columns` error is raised.
? Ordering of Columns in the result
When matching columns by name, it is possible that the ordering of
columns may vary between input tables. The ordering is determined as
following: columns that are kept from the first table are in the order
they appear in that table. If there are columns that do not appear in
the first table, they are appended to the end of the resulting table in
the order they appear in the input.

- tables: A single table or a vector of tables to append to this one. The
tables are concatenated in the order they are specified, with `self`
being the first one.
- columns_to_keep: Specifies which columns to keep. Defaults to keeping
columns that are present in any of the tables, reporting a warning for
columns that are not present in all tables and adding `Nothing` values
for them.
- match_columns: Specifies how to match the columns.
- If `Match_Columns.By_Name` - the columns are matched by name across
all provided tables.
If unmatched columns are to be dropped, the resulting table will keep
only the set of columns that appear in all provided tables, in the
relative order that they appeared in the `self` table.
If unmatched columns are kept, they are added in the order of
appearance - i.e. first all columns from `self` will be added in the
original order, then any columns from the second table that were not
matched will be added at the end (preserving their relative order),
and so on for all the remaining tables.
- If `Match_Columns.By_Position` - the columns are mapped by position.
If unmatched columns are to be dropped, the resulting table will have
as many columns as the table that had the least columns and the
column names of the first table (self) will be used.
If unmatched columns are kept, the resulting table will have as many
columns as the table with the most columns. Since the first table may
not have all the necessary columns to provide column names for the
result, the result will have column names taken from the first table
that has the biggest number of columns.
- keep_unmatched_columns: If set to `True`, unmatched columns are kept
and are padded with `Nothing` for tables that did not have them.
If set to `False`, only the common subset of columns is kept - any
column that is not present in all tables is dropped. Defaults to
`Report_Unmatched`, which behaves like `True` - unmatched columns are
kept and padded with `Nothing`, but a problem is reported.
- allow_type_widening: Specifies if the resulting column type should be
adjusted to fit columns from all arguments. If `True`, a common type
will be chosen for each column (see "Unifying Column Types" below).
If `False`, the resulting column type will be the same as in the first
table containing the column. In this case, all columns that are
concatenated must have the same type as the first one (unless this
had a `Mixed` type - in which case it will accept any other types).
The names of each column come from the first table in which the given
column appears in.
The `List` option is not applicable when mapping columns by position.
Column names are taken from the first table if `In_All` and from the
first table that has the maximum number of columns if `In_Any`

them as warnings by default.
- If `keep_unmatched_columns` is set to `Report_Unmatched` (the
default):
- If matching by name and there are columns that are not present in
all tables, `Unmatched_Columns` is reported.
- If matching by position and column counts of the merged tables
differ, then a `Column_Count_Mismatch` is reported. The error will
contain the greatest column count as its `expected` value and the
smallest one as its `actual` value.
- If `keep_unmatched_columns` is set to `False` and matching by name,
it is possible that there are no columns that are common to all
provided tables, in that case `No_Output_Columns` is thrown as a
dataflow error regardless of the `on_problems` setting, because there
are no columns to include in the resulting table.
- If type widening is disabled and one of corresponding columns has a
type that is incompatible with the type coming from the first table,
a `Column_Type_Mismatch` is reported. The problematic column will be
dropped from the resulting table. With type widening disabled, the
subsequent tables must have the same types as the first one, unless
the type of the first one was `Mixed` which will accept any other
type.
- If a common type coercion for a set of matched columns from
concatenated tables cannot be found, a `No_Common_Type` is reported.
In warning or ignore mode, the problematic column will be dropped
from the resulting table.
? Unifying Column Types
If `allow_type_widening` is set to `True`, then the following rules are
used to find a common type that will fit values from all merged tables.
Numeric columns are unified by finding the most general type that can
fit all of the columns. The biggest integer type will be chosen and if
Numeric columns are unified by finding the smallest type that can fit
all of the columns. The biggest integer type will be chosen and if
integers and decimals are mixed, the decimal type will be chosen.
If boolean columns are mixed with numeric columns, they will be coerced
to the numeric type (and converted to 0 and 1).
Text types will also be coerced according to the common rules - if
constant-length texts of different lengths are mixed, they will be
coerced to a varying-length type.
Text types will are also unified by finding the smallest type that can
fit all the values. If constant-length texts of different lengths are
mixed, they will be coerced to a varying-length type.
If date and date-time columns are unified, this yields a date-time
column. In-memory, the date is promoted by adding a time of 00:00 and
the system time-zone. In other backends that behaviour may differ.
If one of the matched columns has `Mixed` type, that type will be used
regardless of types of other columns. Mixing any other types will
result in a `No_Common_Type` problem. If columns of incompatible types
are meant to be mixed, at least one of them should be explicitly
retyped to the `Mixed` type to indicate that intention. Note that the
`Mixed` type may not be supported by most Database backends.

regardless of types of other columns. Note that the `Mixed` type may
not be supported by most Database backends.
Finally, if no common type is found using the rules above, everything
is converted to text.
? Problem Conditions
- If no common type is found and the text conversion fallback is used,
the `No_Common_Type` problem is reported.
- The `Float` type may not be able to exactly represent larger
integers, thus if such large integers are mixed with floats, the
resulting conversion to `Float` may cause a loss of precision.
In that case, a `Loss_Of_Integer_Precision` problem is reported.
This warning is only reported in the in-memory backend. Currently,
the Database backend proceeds without a warning about precision loss.
- If a column of dates is unified with a column of date-times, since
the assumption of using the midnight time-of-day is arbitrary,
a `Implicit_Date_As_Date_Time_Conversion` problem is reported.
- If an empty vector of tables is provided, an `Illegal_Argument` error
is raised.
- If `columns_to_keep` is set to `In_All` or `List` and an expected
column is missing in some of the tables, a `Unmatched_Columns`
problem is reported. If this causes the output to contain no columns,
a `No_Output_Columns` error is raised.
? Ordering of Columns in the result
When matching columns by name, it is possible that the ordering of
columns may vary between input tables. The ordering is determined as
following: columns that are kept from the first table are in the order
they appear in that table. If there are columns that do not appear in
the first table, they are appended to the end of the resulting table in
the order they appear in the input.
