Hi, A question about ptrepack: if one copies Tables and/or VLArrays from one file to a new one, does it calculate new chunkshapes on the basis of the dimensions of these objects in the original file?
The thing is that I create pytables files, but do not always know beforehand how many rows I will have. So I make a guess in setting the expectedrows / expectedsizeinMB parameters when creating tables / arrays. If that guess turns out to be off-the-mark, can I then use ptrepack to create new and better files, or should I write a routine that recreates tables / arrays with the (now known) expectedrows / expectedsizeinMB parameters. (Off-the-mark here is something like: I said it would be 200000 rows, but it turns out to be 500000.) All the best, Gabriel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.
