Re: Changing column type fails

[gyorokpeter-kx]

Can you make sure that the res variable you do the meta on is the same that you are trying to update? E.g. global vs local variable, or other queries changing it in the meantime. Or there being a space in the column name (possible if parsing from CSV).

This works:

q)res:([]id:("AA";"BB");first_name:("CC";"DD");last_name:("EE";"FF");email:("GG";"HH")) 
q)meta res 
c         | t f a 
----------| ----- 
id        | C 
first_name| C 
last_name | C 
email     | C 

q)update "S"$id from res 
id first_name last_name email 
----------------------------- 
AA "CC" "EE" "GG" 
BB "DD" "FF" "HH"
