I have looked at kdb a couple years ago.. but even though it fulfilledmy purposes their licensing simply was so strict that I lost interest.Anyway I was pleasently surprised by their recent step even though Idon’t think it will achieve what they are looking for - still way toorestrictive…Anyway years ago when I’d start up kdb I’d get the simple little Guito do some basic tasks, and everything was called k.Now after the install all I see is q - k seems to be gone, but no wayto show some tables and play around in the GUI… however I still seethe same old data table files.So how can I launch the gui viewer, which some time ago could beachieved with k db filename.t -p 2002 -d ?
Hi,you can still lunch k. Type '' on the console and you will change tok mode.gui is not available any more from k or q.However there is nice IDE "Studio for kdb+"http://skelton.fileburst.com/downloads/phoenix.exe?somerandomtexthereYou can connect with studio to q server and inspect tables.Cheers,nmlOn May 29, 8:19?am, kdb-testing <walt.er.bachti…> wrote:> I have looked at kdb a couple years ago.. but even though it fulfilled> my purposes their licensing simply was so strict that I lost interest.> Anyway I was pleasently surprised by their recent step even though I> don’t think it will achieve what they are looking for - still way too> restrictive…>> Anyway years ago when I’d start up kdb I’d get the simple little Gui> to do some basic tasks, and everything was called k.>> Now after the install all I see is q - k seems to be gone, but no way> to show some tables and play around in the GUI… ?however I still see> the same old data table files.>> So how can I launch the gui viewer, which some time ago could be> achieved with k db filename.t -p 2002 -d ??</walt.er.bachti…>
