Hi Haritha,
Thank you for your reply.I read the article but that didnt give me what exactly i need. I want to understand why should i use associations when i have joins. In you comments you mentioned However associationrules work automatically when a manager or developer is building a report." could you please make it clear , i mean how difeerent it is from joins.
Hi Haritha,
Did you get a chance to have a look at the above query from pavan as even I have the same query.
Accepted Solution
Hello,
As per my knowledge when you can't achieve the result with joins then we can use multiple association.
For example, If you want to join Class A with Class C where you don't have a common column in them, then we use multiple association.
Ideally simple join and association are same.
Hope this might be helpful to you.

Thank you Mahesh for your reply can you please explain the example in detail , "Class c donot have columns " Means?
Hi,
Both Join and association rule enable report to present data from two related classes. However associationrules work automatically when a manager or developer is building a report.
