What it does
This workflow compares 2 datasets from a single database. Two SQL nodes create a slightly different summary report based on the payments table. Both reports have the same structure, but different time periods. In addition to that, output from the "Orders from 2004 and 2005" node has an extra manipulation on the ordercount variable. This makes Compare Datasets node to produce four outputs: data in A Only Branch, in B Only Branch, Same Branch records and Different Branch records.
