I am looping through a large database table 1,000 rows at a time and I
would like to show some reassuring output. I tried echo and smoutput (are
these different?) but both sat there until the whole explicit definition
ended and then printed out the progress notes all at once. Do I need some
sort of flush output command?
Here is the loop I tried:
while. 0 = _1 -: d=. ddfch sh, 1000 NB. ddfet fails unpredictably so use
ddfch instead
do.
data=. make_cells d NB. put into ddfet format as expected by run_tests
scores=. run_tests data
r=. make_cols data,. <"1 scores
assert. 0 = ch2 ddins~ ('select * from ',y,'_scored where 0=1');r
echo written=. written + 1{. $data
end.
