Dear all kdb masters, I tried to load a data base, which save the table as seperate columns and h= ave a .d file within the folder. I guess the .d fill is compression infor f= ile of kdb, because when I tried to load the database by using "\l c:/q/DB"= , the kdb console complaints like this : kdb+ 3.5,=E2=80=9C=E2=80=9D=E2=80= =9C=E2=80=9Dsnappy required to decompress ./ 2001.01.01/FinancialData/.d O= S reports: not support this request=E2=80=9C=E2=80=9D=E2=80=9C=E2=80=9D. I went through the google kdb group and code.kx.com and found out that i sh= ould let kdb+ find the windows: snappy.dll, but the instruction only shows = how to configure the installation of snappy on osx by using macports. Anyone could help me on this? I downloaded the snappy zip form google.githu= b.io/snappy but found no dll within the zip file. Anyone could tell me how = to configure the snappy.dll on Windows for kdb+ 32bit 3.5version? Thank u guys in advance
