This sample contains a Query Table data construct that stores information about member companies comprising the NASDAQ-100 stock index. Each company was assigned an arbitrary color value from the choices {red, yellow, blue}, stored in the table's Color field.
Also see the Sequence operator sample, which illustrates how to use unique IDs generated by a Sequence operator as a Query Table's primary index.
This sample includes the following Query operators:
Query Operator Name | Description |
---|---|
LoadNasdaq100Table | Accepts input from a CSV File Reader adapter that reads from a CSV data file. The adapter runs automatically when the sample starts to automatically load the Query Table. |
ReadNasdaq100Table | Accepts a stream with a single string field named Symbol; the Symbol field can be entered with any case letters. Enter a stock symbol to return that symbol's entry in the Query Table, if the symbol is a member of the NASDAQ-100, or an error message if not. |
QueryPriceColor | Accepts a stream with fields MaxPrice (double) and Color (string). Enter values to return one tuple for each stock that matches the specified color and whose price is less than or equal to the specified price. |
QueryPrice | Accepts a stream with maximum and minimum price values. Enter a stock price range to return a tuple for each stock whose price falls within the specified range. |
UpdatePriceQuery | Accepts a stream with Symbol and Price values; the Symbol field can be entered with any case letters. If a row matching the specified Symbol is found in the Query Table, its Price field is updated with the specified Price. If no row with that Symbol is found, no rows are updated or inserted. |
DeleteSymbolQuery | Accepts a stream with a single Symbol field. Symbols entered must exactly match an entry in the table in spelling and case. The row in the Query Table with the specified Symbol is deleted from the table. If no such row exists, the Query Table is left unchanged. |

-
From the top menu, click

folder. -
Open the package folder (most samples contain a single package folder. Open the top-level package folder if your sample contains more than one folder).
-
Open the
Query.sbapp
application and click theRun button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the application. On startup, the application uses a CSV File Reader adapter to automatically load the Query Table from the
NASDAQ100.csv
file.If you see red marks, wait a moment for the project in Studio to load its features.
If red marks do not resolve themselves in a moment, select the project and right-click
→ from the context menu. -
In the Output Streams view, select
All Output Streams
in the Stream drop-down control. The view initially shows the results of automatically loading the Query Table. -
In the Manual Input view, select

in the Stream control. -
Enter
INTC
in the Symbol field. -
Click Output Streams view, observe the symbol, name, price, color and description of the Intel stock. This stock has been successfully read from the table.
