Hello, I've been looking for a way to write a table into multiple files, and am wondering if there are some clever suggestions. Say we have a table that is too large (several Gb) to write to a file that can be used for further analyses in other languages. The table consists of a timestamp field and several numeric fields, with records every 10th of a second. It could be meaningfully broken down into subsets of say 20 minutes worth of records. One option is to write a shell script that loops through the timestamp, selects the corresponding subset of the table, and writes it as a unique file. However, this would be extremely slow because each select takes several hours, and there can be hundreds of subsets. Is there a better way?
