Do you summarize data before you join a table in ArcGIS?
Summarizing your data before joining it. Depending on how your data is organized, you may have to start by summarizing the data in your table before you join it to a layer. When you summarize a table, ArcMap creates a new table containing summary statistics derived from your table.
How does join validation work in ArcGIS Desktop?
Join validation also informs you about how many records will match if the join is created. You can compute what percentage of records were successfully matched and determine if there might be other errors in the data if the number of matched records is not what was expected.
When do you need to specify a coordinate system in ArcGIS?
Generally, if you have a layer whose dataset does not have a coordinate system defined and you know which coordinate system it is using, you should use the Define Projection tool in ArcToolbox to assign projection information to your data. This is required for working with that data in ArcGIS.
What are the properties of a relationship class in ArcGIS?

What happens when you join multiple tables in arcde?
Joining multiple tables or layers to a single layer can be costly in terms of performance. If all the data is from the same ArcSDE server and you choose Keep only matching records when joining, performance should not be greatly affected. After performing a join, the values in the fields from the joined table might appear empty or null.
How does the merge branch tool work in ArcGIS?
