Company Jurisdiction

• FREEZONE: Companies based in UAE, registered and confined to a specific special jurisdiction within an Emirate.
  
• OFFSHORE: Established in a foreign jurisdiction to operate outside their original location of registration. Offshore entities are usually established as Company Limited by Shares (CLS), or Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG).
  

Company Registrar

• MAINLAND Registrars: The issuer of a Trade License, specific to the conduct and activity of the Legal Entity. e.g., A trade license is issued by the Department of Economic and Tourism (DET) in Dubai and the Department of Economic Development (DED) of the other six (6) emirates. Additional approvals from other external government authorities may be required depending on the commercial activity. 
  
• FREEZONE Registrar: Free zones are established under a special decree passed by the Ruler of the Emirate in which the free zone is created. They have rules and regulations that oversee the license and visa issuance regulatory and administrative processes. Additional approvals from other external government authorities may be required depending on the business activity.

Cartesian Product

A Cartesian product pairs each row of one table with every row of another table, and for multiple tables, this operation repeats, considering all tables involved.

PowerQuery MergeQueries

In Power Query, merging queries is a common operation used to combine data from different sources. There are several types of joins available when you use the Merge Queries feature, similar to SQL joins. As of my last update, here are the options available:

1. Inner Join: Returns only the rows that have matching values in both tables. It's the default option and is used to get only the records that have a match in both of the tables you are merging.
   
2. Left Outer Join (All from first, matching from second): Returns all rows from the first (left) table and the matched rows from the second (right) table. If there is no match, the result is NULL on the side of the second table.
   
3. Right Outer Join (All from second, matching from first): Returns all rows from the second (right) table, and the matched rows from the first (left) table. Similar to the Left Outer Join, but in this case, all rows from the second table are returned.
   
4. Full Outer Join (All rows from both): Returns all rows when there is a match in either the left or right table. This means it returns all the records when there is a match in either table and fills in NULLs for non-matching rows from both sides.
   
5. Anti Join (Only rows from first not in second): Returns only the rows from the first table that do not have a match in the second table. This is useful for finding discrepancies or exclusions between two data sets.
   
6. Anti Join (Only rows from second not in first): Similar to the previous one but returns only the rows from the second table that do not have a match in the first table.
   

These options provide a wide range of possibilities for merging data according to your needs, allowing for inner and outer joins, as well as finding unmatched records which can be very useful for data cleaning and preparation tasks.
