Comments:

Although the current release only supports single tables, there are arguments for and against table access components that join tables together. In defense of the single table component, complex joins can often hinder performance. At times it is better to programatically join tables through code. Likewise, defining a view of multiple tables with a query can lead to much easier programming. Although TACG does not currently support joins, that functionality is on our enhancement list.
