For a given table, retrieves the values from the requested column(s). Maps of
column name to the array of values as well as the column data type are
returned. This endpoint supports pagination with the input parameter offset
and input parameter limit parameters.Window functions, which can perform operations
like moving averages, are available through this endpoint as well as
/create/projection.When using pagination, if the table (or the underlying table in the case of a
view) is modified (records are inserted, updated, or deleted) during a call to
the endpoint, the records or values retrieved may differ between calls based on
the type of the update, e.g., the contiguity across pages cannot be relied
upon.If input parameter table_name is empty, selection is performed against a
single-row virtual table. This can be useful in executing temporal
(NOW()), identity
(USER()), or
constant-based functions
(GEODIST(-77.11, 38.88, -71.06, 42.36)).The response is returned as a dynamic schema. For details see:
dynamic schemas documentation.
Name of the table or view on which this operation will be performed, in [schema_name.]table_name format, using standard name resolution rules. An empty table name retrieves one record from a single-row virtual table, where columns specified should be constants or constant expressions.
A positive integer indicating the number of initial results to skip (this can be useful for paging through the results).The default value is 0. The minimum allowed value is 0. The maximum allowed value is MAX_INT.
A positive integer indicating the maximum number of results to be returned, or END_OF_SET (-9999) to indicate that the maximum number of results allowed by the server should be returned. The number of records returned will never exceed the server’s own limit, defined by the max_get_records_size parameter in the server configuration. Use output parameter has_more_records to see if more records exist in the result to be fetched, and input parameter offset and input parameter limit to request subsequent pages of results.The default value is -9999.
Column that the data should be sorted by. Used in conjunction with sort_order. The order_by option can be used in lieu of sort_by / sort_order.The default value is ”.
String indicating how the returned values should be sorted - ascending or descending. If sort_order is provided, sort_by has to be provided.The default value is ascending.The supported values are:
The Kinetica server embeds the endpoint response inside a standard response structure which contains status information and the actual response to the query. Here is a description of the various fields of the wrapper:
