  • How to convert sym columns to guid or to original data

    Posted by mario on March 18, 2024 at 3:18 am

    I have schema like

    ([]time:timespan$();sym:$();user_uuid:$();order_id:long$();instrument:`$())

    when I feed using qpython suddenly, the all symbol column convert to something like int, meanwhile original data for sym is uuid, user_uuid is uuid, instrument was string How to solve it using pykx?

    Can you include some more code to explain what the issue is?

    To create a symbol vector you are using:

    `symbol$()

    but you should use:

    `$()

    .i.e

    q)order_histories:([]time:`timespan$();sym:`$();user_uuid:`$();order_id:`long$();instrument:`$())
    q)order_histories
    time sym user_uuid order_id instrument
    --------------------------------------

    Insert some data and set a port:

    q)order_histories insert (2?.z.N;2?`6;2?`6;2?100000;2?`6)
    0 1
    q)order_histories
    time sym user_uuid order_id instrument
    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Query from PyKX

    >>> import pykx as kx
    >>> conn('order_histories')
    pykx.Table(pykx.q('
    time sym user_uuid order_id instrument

    '))
    >>> conn('order_histories').pd()
    time sym user_uuid order_id instrument

      Can you share a small sample of your PyKX code which shows the issue?
