Zusammenfassung:Techniques are disclosed for a system that provides an intuitive way for merging or joining data from different datasets. The system may provide graphical interfaces to enable a user to combine or join datasets identified as having a relationship. In at least one embodiment, the system can determine options for joining datasets, such as by a left join, right join, or outer join. A graphical interface may display a visual representation (e.g., a "Glenn Diagram") illustrate options for joining datasets based on identifying a relationship between the data sets. The representation may further illustrate one or more types of joins and information about the data, such as rows where data may be joined based on the type of join function for the relationship by columns. The visual representation may indicate where the datasets can be joined, such that they are not overlapping.
