Flat Tables and Splayed Tables

[diarmaid-dohert]

Hi,

I have two tables, "quotes" and "trades" loaded within a q session.

I'm wondering is there a way I could save the "trades" table as a flat table within a subdirectory "flat" that I have created and also how I can save both "quotes" and "trades" as splayed tables in a separate subdirectory called "splay"?

Many thanks.

Hi Diarmaid,

If you want to save a table down to a directory you have created a a flat table, you can use the following:

`:flat/flattrades set trades

This will save the table trades to the directory flat under the name flattrades.

The following will similarly save the tables quotes as a splayed table.

`:./splay/splayquotes/ set .Q.en[`:./splay;] quotes

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
