Add an attached table to composite table emp1.ctx:
|
|
A |
|
|
1 |
=file("D:\\emp1.ctx") |
|
|
2 |
=A1.create(#EID,NAME) |

|
3 |
=demo.cursor("select EID,NAME from employee ") |
|
|
4 |
=A2.append(A3) |
Append records to the base table |
|
5 |
=A2.attach(t1, SURNAME,DEPT ) |
Add attached table t1 to the base table |
|
6 |
=demo.cursor("select EID,SURNAME,DEPT from employee") |
|
|
7 |
=A5.append(A6) |
Append records to attached table t1 |
|
8 |
=A2.attach(t2,GENDER,SALARY) |
Add attached table t2 to the base table |
|
9 |
=demo.cursor("select EID,GENDER,SALARY from employee ") |
|
|
10 |
=A8.append(A9) |
Append records to attached table t2 |
Put emp1.ctx in node 192.168.0.116:8281:
|
|
A |
|
|
1 |
=file("emp1.ctx",["192.168.0.116:8281"]) |

Return a cluster composite table |
|
3 |
=A2.attach(t1) |

Description:

Synatx:
T.attach(T’,C…)
Note:
The function adds attached table T’ to a composite table’s base table T. A composite table can have one or multiple attached tables. The attached table’s dimensions include the dimensions of its base table; its column names should be different from the base table’s column names.
Parameter:

T |
A base table |
|
T’ |
An attached table |
|
C |
Attached table column, can be omitted; return an attached table named T’ if it is absent; a C preceded by # is a dimension |
Return value:
An attached table
Example:
|
|
A |
|
|
1 |
=file("D:/ctb.ctx") |
|
|
2 |
=A1.create(#k1,v1) |
Create the composite table’s base table where k1 is the dimension and v1 is the column |
|
3 |
=A2.attach(table2,#k2,v2) |
Add attached table table2 to A2’s base table; k1 and k2 are the attached table’s dimensions and v1 and v2 are its columns |
|
4 |
=A2.attach(table3,v3) |
Add attached table table3 to A2’s base table; k1 is the attached table’s dimension and v1 and v3 are its columns |
