I'll go with the append. Don't! Going the Python route (reading the join tables(s) into a dictionary using a search cursor and then updating the main table via an update cursor is by far the fastest method. This is true in v10.0 and below, but is especially true in v10.1+ using ethe data access cursors. In addition to faster processing, this method is far more flexible in that allows for all sorts of error handeling and whatnot through conditional expressions. For example, say you want to get the fields "ADDRESS" and "CITY" into the main table (key field being "NAME"): #UNTESTED! lutTbl = r"C:\temp\test.gdb\lookuptable" mainTbl = "r"C:\temp\test.gdb\maintable" lutDict= dict([(r[0], (r[1], r[2])) for r in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(lutTbl, ["NAME","ADDRESS","CITY")]) arcpy.AddField_managment(mainTbl, "ADDRESS", "TEXT", "", "", "75") arcpy.AddField_managment(mainTbl, "CITY", "TEXT", "", "", "30") updateRows = arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(mainTbl, ["NAME","ADDRESS","CITY"]) for updateRow in updateRows:     nameValue = updateRow[0]      if nameValue in lutDict:         updateRow[1] = lutDict[nameValue][0]  #Address         updateRow[2] = lutDict[nameValue][1]  #City     else:        print "Could not locate address/city info for " + str(nameValue)      updateRows.updateRow(updateRow) del updateRow, updateRows ...
