After data are imported from a data table, we often need to group them as required, or work out grouping and summarizing result. In esProc, groups function is used to compute the result of data grouping and summarizing; or group function can be used to first group the data, then perform further analysis and computation...

In esProc, the storage of cellset variables is ubiquitous. Cell values are convenient references during computation, but they could occupy too much memory. Data can be cleared from cells to reduce memory footprint after they accomplish their mission in computation. It should be particularly noted that, when the interme...

Table sequences are universally used in esProc. During data analysis and computing, we often need to add records to a table sequence or delete them from it, or modify the data in it. This article will illustrate the modification and maintenance of the table sequences through operations of adding, deleting and modifying...

In esProc, we can use not only the SQL to retrieve data from databases, but also the preliminary database query results to perform further analyses and operations to solve some complicated problems which are difficult to deal with in SQL alone.
1. Database connection and disconnection
When SQL accesses databases, it sh...

We often need to sort or rank data during data statistics and analysis. The operations include problems like sort sales records according to the dates and rank the results of salespersons for assessing their performance.
1. Sort and rank members in a sequence
In esProc, functions, such as psort, sort, ranki rank, and e...

In esProc, strings are not merely a data type; they can also be used as macros or string constants to construct expressions, or employed by eval() function to generate expressions dynamically as needed.
1. Macro
Macros in esProc refer to strings for composing expressions, only that these strings are usually generated d...

3. No result or multiple results
It is allowed to return no result during calling a cellset file. Take the following cellset file – outputData1.dfx – as an example:
A

$(demo) select * from CITIES
2
=A1.select(Arg.pos(left(NAME,1))>0)
3
=file(“Cities.txt”)
4

esProc can be embedded in a Java application. Invoking an esProc cellset program is like accessing a database via JDBC. During the invocation the cellset program is packaged as a stored procedure, so it is called in the same way as that the latter is called.
1. Basic usage
esProc JDBC resembles a database JDBC dr...
