<h2><a name="cdsskymatch">B.2 <code>cdsskymatch</code>:
Crossmatches table on sky position against VizieR/SIMBAD table</a></h2>
<p><code>cdsskymatch</code> uses the
<a href="http://cdsxmatch.u-strasbg.fr/">CDS X-Match service</a>
to join a local table to one of the tables hosted by the
Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg.
This includes all of the VizieR tables and the SIMBAD database.
The service is very fast, and in most cases it is the best way to
match a local table against a large external table hosted by a service.
It is almost certainly much better than using
<a href="coneskymatch.html"><code>coneskymatch</code></a>,
though it is less flexible than TAP
(see the <a href="tapquery.html"><code>tapquery</code></a> task
for flexible access to TAP services, and
<a href="tapskymatch.html"><code>tapskymatch</code></a>
for positional matches).
</p>
<p>The local table is uploaded to the X-Match service in chunks,
and the matches for each chunk are retrieved in turn and eventually
stitched together to form the final result.
The tool only uploads sky position and an identifier for each row of
the input table, but all columns of the input table are reinstated
in the result for reference.
</p>
<p>The remote table in most cases contains only a subset of the
the columns in the relevant VizieR table, including the most useful ones.
The service currently provides no straightforward way to acquire columns which
are not returned by default.
