I tried Quick on dataset topics which map to individual tables. When I ask a question that requires data from multiple tables, I was expecting that a JOIN would be created across tables, however that is not the case. It appears that Quick is retrieving a small amount of data from each table and then attempting to use that to generate the answer. Is there a way Quick can combine data on the fly without needing views to be created in advance (eliminating data prep)
Hi @nilou and welcome to the Quick Community!
Currently, this is an overall limitation within Quick, as the same logic applies to building other items like visuals; as datasets cannot refer to another dataset without some type of join.
So to handle a scenario like this with the current restrictions, you would need to perform a table join prior to building a topic.
A more seamless interaction between datasets that are not joined would be highly useful so I’ll tag this as a feature request to promote visibility to the support team.
