Generate user defined primary key

CloverDX Platform
1

Hello everyone,
I would like to input a file and generate a user defined key and check the database table if that key exists or not.
I am thinking of using reformat component as i have to parallely input the component and also generate a key(primary key),check whether this key is unique in the database table and finally insert into this database table but unfortunately reformat has only one input
Example:
text file:
FIELD 1| FIELD 2
A | 1
B |2

database table:
primay key| FIELD 1|FIELD2
AF-2234 | C | 7
AF-2267 | P |15
here i have to insert A|1, B|2 into the databse table with a new user defined primary key.I have the code to generate the primary key.But after generating the key i have to match with the primary key of the database table to check that the new generated key does not exist in the database table as primary key should be unique.

Will anyone please guide me.

Hello, use DBJoin or LookupJoin component. Following example shows how to put into database new keys:
