I have table with columns for users.

ie. t:([]Dave:`$();Nick:`$())

I am wondering how to dynamically select the column that matches the current username using .z.u

I will have to consider string cases, using something like `$ssr[string .z.u;string .z.u;upper] to cast the entire username to upper and match it against the column name casted to upper as well.

Any ideas?

Hmm sorry quick question, I am trying to pull a second column using that dynamic column name but not sure the syntax

exec Col from (`Col;upper .z.u)#t where upper .z.u=1b

results in type error
