The comment you're replying just explained why this is not "basically a JOIN." There are two unrelated systems (not SQL databases) which don't expose any APIs to the analyst.
- tuatoru 3y agoIt's still basically a join. If it's on a computer, it can be converted to text files, and then it can be JOINed, one way or another.

- csomar 3y agoIn these cases, the work is usually about connecting the systems together than the data modification itself.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoNo, that's just made up work that's not required to solve a problem. Systems are already connected enough by virtue of being accessible by the same person on the same computer at the same time. Turning this into software project and building Proper Integration is only creating a tight coupling between the systems, which will only keep creating bugs and requires ongoing maintenance.
