K Description

K is a Perl module to: Connect to a remote K or Q instance. Execute commands. Read replies.K wraps the C library defined by k.h and described here http://code.kx.com/wiki/Cookbook/InterfacingWithC.K's OO interface is a thin layer of sugar on top of K::Raw which mimics the C library as faithfully as possible.For now, K returns very simple Perl representations of k values. For example, inside k timestamps are 64-bit ints where the value is the number of nanoseconds since 2001.01.01D00:00:00.000 . For such values, K returns the int value as a string (ex: '385906394151617280'). This will probably change.SYNOPSIS my $k = K->new( host => 'kserver.example.com', port => 5000, user => 'awhitney', password => 'kdb4eva', ); $k->cmd( '4 + 4' ); # 8 $k->cmd( q/"abc"/ ); # $k->cmd( q/`foo`bar!(1;2)/ ); # { foo => 1, bar => 2 } $k->cmd( q/2012.03.24D12:13:14.15161728/ ); # '385906394151617280' # table $k->cmd( q/([] foo: (`a;`b); bar: (`c;`d))/ ); # { # foo => , # bar => , # } # table w/ primary key $k->cmd( q/( foo: (`b;`c); bar: (`d;`e))/ ); # # } # { # foo => , # bar => , # }, # ]Product's homepage
