  • Query for fetching data for windows

    Posted by kb on May 17, 2024 at 5:43 am

    I have a table “orders” which looks like this:

    sym | transactTime | orderId | price | qty

    This table will only have the data for 1 day.

    now I am provided with two lengths(timespan values) length1: 20 mins , length2: 10 mins

    This will be used to create windows, let’s say

    window 1:

    start:00:00:00:000000000

    end: start + length1

    window 2:

    start: end of window 1 + length2

    end: start + length1

    this will go on till end=23:59:59:999999999

    I need to fetch the data for each sym, for each window.

    Can someone help with this?

    You could make windows like so:

    q)start:0D 
    q)duration:1D 
    q)length1:0D00:20 
    q)length2:0D00:10 
    q)windows:{flip (0;y-1)+\:y*til `long$x div y}'[duration;(length1;length2)] 
    q)(first;last)@\:windows 0 0D00:00:00.000000000 0D00:19:59.999999999 0D23:40:00.000000000 0D23:59:59.999999999 
    q)(first;last)@\:windows 1 0D00:00:00.000000000 0D00:09:59.999999999 0D23:50:00.000000000 0D23:59:59.999999999 
    q)t:([] time:100?1D;sym:100?`A`B`C) 
    time sym 
    ------------------------

    Query for small tables for each sym for each windows:
