I have two datatables $dtA and $dtB. table $dtA contains about 10,000 rows. At any given point in time, table $dtB can have 1 - say 80 rows in it, which are logically linked via key column named dtKeyColumn. I am not able to filter out $dtA inside a parallel loop processing rows in $dtB
now my script looks something like this
$dtA
$dtB | foreach-parallel {
$p = $dtA | where-object {$_.dtKeyColumn -eq $PSItem.dtKeyColumn}
# $p = $dtA | where-object {$dtA.dtKeyColumn -eq $PSItem.dtKeyColumn}
# i have tried both above
....
# do some work using $p
....
}
$_.dtKeyColumn -eq $PSItem.dtKeyColumn will always be true since they are referring to the same value
how can i make this work ?
is there an alternative like a SQL inner join between the two tables ?
