Adapted from a response by Anand On Tuesday, August 02, 2005 Yes it is possible, if you use a "Join With DB" component. But, remember, this will join to the database for every input record and it will kill your performance. Please bear in mind the scalability of your application before you choose this approach. The best approach is to download them and use it as a lookup file (if the size isn't too big i.e. <= 500K) or do a join (if it's a really big file).
