/filter/byvalue - Kinetica Docs

URL: http://<db.host>:<db.port>/filter/byvalue

Calculates which objects from a table has a particular value for a particular column. The input parameters provide a way to specify either a String or a Double valued column and a desired value for the column on which the filter is performed. The operation is synchronous, meaning that a response will not be returned until all the objects are fully available. The response payload provides the count of the resulting set. A new result view which satisfies the input filter restriction specification is also created with a view name passed in as part of the input payload. Although this functionality can also be accomplished with the standard filter function, it is more efficient.

Input Parameter Description

string

Name of an existing table on which to perform the calculation, in [schema_name.]table_name format, using standard name resolution rules.

If true, a unique temporary table name will be generated in the sys_temp schema and used in place of input parameter view_name. This is always allowed even if the caller does not have permission to create tables. The generated name is returned in qualified_view_name.The default value is false.The supported values are:

true
false

[DEPRECATED—please specify the containing schema for the view as part of input parameter view_name and use /create/schema to create the schema if non-existent] Name of a schema for the newly created view. If the schema is non-existent, it will be automatically created.
