Loop to total rows

[pauldamen]

All,

I have a table which I retrieve in JSON format. This works with a skip and take function, so in a loop I change the skip to be able to loop through the table.

My problem is the To part of the loop. Because the take has a 5000 record limit if I use a function like NoOfRows('Table') it stops after the first loop because it sees the 5000. What I can use to let the loop run to 22.000 (which is now the number of records in the table)?

Regards, Paul

Not sure if this gonna help but can you use rowno() and get its maximum value stored in a variable or use it directly?

What would I need to do to try this suggestion?

It sounds that it might be solvable with another loop which sliced your input-table. There you could add a counter maybe with something like:

ceil(rowno() / 5000) as LoopCounter

and then you could loop through this field like:

for i = 1 to fieldvaluecount(LoopCounter)

     FinalTable:

     load * from Table where LoopCounter = $(i);

     ... your other stuff ...

Problem is I need tot loop to load the whole table since the source only allows me to get 5000 records at once.

So in order to load all records I need a loop statement, but in order to make the loop statement I need all records. So that is what I am sort of stuck in now.

Sounds like you need to look at pagination - here is the url of to the loading paged data manual section

The actual details of what you precisely need to do will depend on the details of your data source.
