reset()

cs

A cursor

A

1

=demo.cursor("select * from scores")

Return retrieved data as a cursor.

2

=A1.fetch()

Fetch data from the cursor.

3

=A1.fetch()

Return null because A1’s cursor has come to the end of the data.

4

=A1.reset()

Move the cursor back to the beginning.

5

=A1.fetch()

Fetch data out of the cursor; returned result is the same as A2.

f.reset(f’:b;cs)

Rearrange a composite table file or a homo-name files group to a new composite table file

f.reset(f’:b,x;cs)

Rearrange a composite table file or a homo-name files group to a new homo-name files group

f

A composite table file/homo-name files group

f’

A composite table file or a homo-name files group

b

Block size, whose unit is byte; by default, it uses value of “Composite table block size” set in the configuration options; when esProc is integrated into a third-party application, the parameter’s value is by default is blockSize value configure in raqsoftConfig.xml file

x

Zone table expression

cs

A cursor/table sequence

@u

Write the file as an uncompressed one; perform the write as usual if the parameter is omitted

@z

Write the file as a compressed one; won’t perform compression if the option is absent

@r

Write the file by row; perform the write as usual if the parameter is omitted

@c

Write the file by column

@w

Used on multizone composite tables where update mark is defined for performing update merge; ignore the record in the zone table with the smaller number when same key values appear in two zone tables;

Handle the update mark and won’t write records marked by the deletion mark to the new composite table file; when key value of the record having a deletion mark is unique in its zone table, just retain it

@q

When parameter f is a homo-name files group and parameter f’ is a composite table file, use this option to perform a simple concatenation instead of a merge while ignoring parameters x and cs

@y

Force to overwrite the file when the target already exists; by default error will be reported and the file rearrangement fails if the target file exist

Return a homo-name files group object.

6

=A1.reset(A5,if(SALARY<10000,1,2))

Re-organize 1.emp.ctx and 2.emp.ctx, zone tables of the multizone composite table, into multizone composite table file empN.ctx, and change the distribution structure of them through zone table expressions, that is, records where SALARY<1000 are written to 1.empN.ctx and other records are written to 2.empN.ctx.

3

=file("re1.ctx")

A

1

=file("emr.ctx":[1,2])

5

=A4.create@yd(#EID,Defiled,NAME,GENDER;if(GENDER=="F",1,2))

14

Rearrange data of homo-name files group er.ctx to er_w.ctx and use @w option to perform update merge That is:

Update

Update the record whose EID value is 1 and whose update mark is false (meaning to-be-modified);

Won't write the record whose EID value is 2 and whose update mark is true (meaning to-be-deleted) to er_w.ctx;

Retain the record whose EID value is 0 and whose update mark is true (to-be-deleted)  - the rule is that the record with an update mark and with unique key value will be kept.
