run q-sql as string

[analyst_tech_jo]

I want to run q-sql which is inputted as string to the program. ALL of them run fine in the console. I can use eval ( parse queryString) however the big ones dont parse fine and hence dont run. Is there a way to just run them without using eval/parse ?

parse and value do not work well with "\n".  do your 'big ones' have "\n"?

eg. 

 q)value "x:1\nx+1"

 'type

in this example:

 q)last value each "\n"vs"x:1\nx+1"

It doesn’t sound like you’ll need it but another option is to write to a temp file:

q){hsym[`$f:"c:\\temp\\blah.q"] 0: enlist x; system"l ",f}"x:1\nx+1"

2

q)x

1

This approach will work if there are multi-line function definitions.

The main disadvantage is you can’t grab the final output, only see it on screen (but you see intermediate outputs too) unlike value.
