q insight pad setup

Hi friends,

I have installed kdb on my local machine and now I am trying to connect with it with q pad.

While I try to set new server (the very first step), I am specifying server name  as blank (nothing) and 5000 as a port value but I am not able to connect.

Can anybody help please?

Thank you.

You have to start the server itself on the local machine (if you left the name blank):

q -p 5000

or from within a q session:

q)\p 5000

Did you ask kdb+ to listen on a port? You can do this either as a startup flag:


q -p 5000

Or from the q prompt:

q) \p 5000
Or
q) system"p 5000"
