Re: [Pytables-users] problem to store a multidimensionnal dataset in a table

[Francesc A. <fa...@ca...>]

Hi,

Which is the problem by defining a table like:

class Pressure(IsDescription):
    coords     = FloatCol(shape=4)
    pressure   = FloatCol()

and assign values to the coords column (in the four dimensions) and
pressure? Please, note that if you are afraid about data redundancy and
getting a large dataset, you can activate compression (LZO if you need
high speed access to data, ZLIB or BZIP2 if you want to compress more).
You will be pleased seeing how small can be the resulting data file in
such a case.

Cheers,

Francesc
