Re: [Pytables-users] sorting a table

[Ernesto <e.p...@un...>]

I'm sorry, I have  a last question that it may be close related to what I'm doing. In practice I need to extract a subset of rows from a tables and then sort them according to specific criteria. Of course the best thing should be a pre-sorting of the table before the extraction in order to get a sorted list. Anyway I could extract my rows and sort them in a next step. However, I don't know a priori if my extracted list can fit the available memory. So the question or better my curiosity concerns the possibility to extract a very big subset of rows also when I don't have all available memory.

Thank a lot and sorry if I'm taking your time with my basic (or stupid) questions,

Ernesto
