The listed partition domains are date, month, year and int. I used an int as the partition domain. When I do a “meta tableName”, the “int” virtual column has the type “j”. Is the partition domain int or long? Thx.

since 3.0 the default is long instead of int - http://code.kx.com/wiki/Releases/ChangesIn3.0

with that comes a change in .Q.L which is implemented when you a load a db into your session.

the partition domain is int(the virtual column), but is of type long due to the change in default. shown here in .Q.L -  (t:"DMJJ"i:10 7 4?#$*x)
