Schemas

Set of APIs for dealing with schemas defined in Control.

Schemas loaded from Control will automatically register meta information in the .schema data structures;

q).schema.cols[`dxAlert]
`time`sym`alertkey`triggered`source`tag1`tag2`description`data

q).schema.tab[`dxAlert]
time sym alertkey triggered source tag1 tag2 description data

.tbl.compareTableWithSchema

Compare in-memory table to Control version

Syntax: .tbl.compareTableWithSchema[tabName;configProfile;scemaName]

Where

  • tabName is the name of a table to compare (symbol)
  • configProfile is a config profile as a symbol. Use a null symbol or .ex.configprofile.
  • schemaNameis a schema name as a symbol

returns a table of meta info joined from both tables. See example for full format:

q).tbl.compareTableWithSchema[`dfxTrade; `; `dfxTrade]

.tbl.getloadedschemas

List of loaded schemas

Syntax: .tbl.getloadedschemas[]

Returns schema names as a symbol list.

q).tbl.getLoadedSchemas[]
`dfxAsk`dfxBbo`dfxBid`dfxBookSnapshot`dfxOrder`dfxQuote`dfxQuote_midprice`dfxTrade..

.tbl.getinfo

Schema metadata at the version the process is operating at

Syntax: .tbl.getinfo tbls

Where tbls is schema names as a symbol list returns a table of schema metadata.

If tbls is empty, information on all schemas is returned.

q).tbl.getinfo[`schema1]

.tbl.gettable

Load a schema into memory

Syntax: .tbl.gettable sn

Where sn is the name of a schema as a symbol, loads the schema into memory.

q).tbl.gettable[`dfxTrade]

.tbl.gettabledetails

Schema metadata

Syntax: .tbl.gettabledetails sn

Where sn is the name of a schema as a symbol, returns a dictionary of schema metadata.

Executed on Control as deltacomponent. If deltacomponent is configured to be a non-Administrator user then the results will be subject to a permission check.

q).tbl.gettabledetails[`dfxTrade]

.tbl.gettablesbygroup

List schemas for a group

Syntax: .tbl.gettablesbygroup gn

Where gn is the name of a schema group as a symbol, returns the schema names for that group as a symbol list.

q).tbl.gettablesbygroup[`DM_Monitoring]
`.yday.dmxJobScheduling`.yday.dmxJobSummary`dmxFileChange`dmxFiles`dmxJobScheduling`dmxJobSummary`dmxPing..

.tbl.loadgrouptables

Load all schemas for a group

Syntax: .tbl.loadgrouptables gn

Where gn is the name of a schema group as a symbol, loads all schemas for that group.

q).tbl.loadgrouptables[`dtxFX]

.tbl.loadtables

Load a list of schemas

Syntax: .tbl.loadtables sns

Where sns is a list of schema names as a symbol vector, loads the schemas.

q).tbl.loadtables[`dfxTrade`dfxQuote]

.tbl.regTab

Register meta information for a table

Syntax: .tbl.regTab sn

Where sn is the name of a table as a symbol, populates the table schema and columns in .schema.tab and .schema.cols respectively. Structures can be accessed directly.

Handled automatically for schemas loaded from Control.
