Hello Ivan! Thanks for your quick reply. To be more clear I am doing some kind of a slice function where a user can select different fields and one row or vise verse from arbitrary number of tables. Since each field can have different types I want to gather the data in a table form. I thought of doing this with numpy arrays. If I dump just one table with the flavor "numpy" I do get a numpy array. That's what you did in pytables if I am not wrong, so I wanted to do the same thing. I guess I can use recarray unless you have a better idea for my problem? By the way, has anyone tried to implement any kind of a slice function for arbitrary number of tables?
