Loading sym in a namespace
Hello,
I am trying to load some data from KDB table:
q) sym:get `:/data/sym</p><p>q) select ASymCol from `:/data/2024.01.01/tbl
In the above example, AsymCol is in a type of `sym$(…), where the corresponding sym file is located in `:/data/sym, and everything works properly.
But if I do this in a namespace:
q) \d .Mynamespace
q.Mynamespace) sym:get `:/data/sym</p><p>q.Mynamespace) select ASymCol from `:/data/2024.01.01/tbl
The returned ASymCol simply shows integer values instead of the symbol from sym.
Is there anyway to assign the sym to the proper sym value?
I also unable to assign any value to a variable at root namespace. Is there anyway to do that?
Thanks so much.
Jacky

To assign a root variable from within a namespace without leaving it you can use upsert or insert and the symbol `.. notation to refer to root namespace:
`..sym upsert get `:/data/sym
