The Automated Table Unioning pattern automatically combines two or more tables by intelligently looking up column names and data types to generate safe SQL under the covers. It supports disparate data sources, such as those from multiple publishers in a data clean room, and creates a view or incrementally loads the unified data into a physical table while tracking load watermarks to prevent duplicates.

An AgileData Engineering Pattern is a repeatable, proven approach for solving a common data engineering challenge in a simple, consistent, and scalable way, designed to reduce rework, speed up delivery, and embed quality by default.
