The generic prefix unpacks a tall table, creating one field per attribute value. This is similar to pivoting a table, except that it results in a separate table per field created.
Syntax:
Generic( loadstatement | selectstatement )
Tables loaded through a generic statement are not auto-concatenated.
Example:
Table1:
Generic LOAD * INLINE;
[
Key, Attribute, Value
Bob, Jan, 100
Bob, Feb, 200
Bob, Mar, 300
Kate, Jan, 400
Kate, Feb, 500
Kate, Mar, 600
];
Result:
This will result in 3 tables:
Table1.Jan:
| Key, | Jan |
|---|---|
| Bob, | 100 |
| Kate, | 400 |
Table1.Feb:
| Key, | Feb |
|---|---|
| Bob, | 200 |
| Kate, | 500 |
Table1.Mar:
| Key, | Mar |
|---|---|
| Bob, | 300 |
| Kate, | 600 |
