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. |

-
Open the
src/main/eventflow/com.tibco.sb.sample.operatorfolder. -
Open the
Query.sbappfile and click the
Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the module. On startup, the application uses a CSV File Reader
adapter to automatically load the Query Table from the NASDAQ100.csvfile. -
In the Output Streams view, select
All Output Streamsin the Stream drop-down control. The view initially shows the results of automatically loading the Query Table. -
In the Manual Input view, select
SymbolStreamin the Stream control. -
