Re: RDB/IHDB/HDB – What is the best way of a copy of the values of an in-memory table?

[Laura]

Hi Kate and David,

Both of your tips were great, thank you very much

It seems I will have to adopt the solution for on-disk tables that Kate suggested because the function doSomething is routed to the IHDB and performs its operations on on-disk tables.

So, when people is an on-disk table, if i try pass by value:

people: `name xkey people

then the IHDB throws a int error message
if i do:

`name xkey select from people

then the IHDB is happy. Since I won’t dare to change the key of my table on the IHDB, it looks like pulling the values to the memory first is the safest option.

Thanks again!
