I'm sorry, I have a last question that it may be close related to what I'm doing. In practice I need to extract a subset of rows from a tables and then sort them according to specific criteria. Of course the best thing should be a pre-sorting of the table before the extraction in order to get a sorted list. Anyway I could extract my rows and sort them in a next step. However, I don't know a priori if my extracted list can fit the available memory. So the question or better my curiosity concerns the possibility to extract a very big subset of rows also when I don't have all available memory.
Thank a lot and sorry if I'm taking your time with my basic (or stupid) questions, Ernesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Pytables-users mailing list Pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pytables-users
