MySQL : retrieve a large select by chunks

You could try using the LIMIT feature. If you do this: SELECT * FROM MyTable ORDER BY whatever LIMIT 0,1000 You’ll get the first 1,000 rows. The first LIMIT value (0) defines the starting row in the result set. It’s zero-indexed, so 0 means “the first row”. The second LIMIT value is the maximum number … Read more

Store and read hash and array in files in Perl

You’re looking for data serialisation. Popular choices that are robust are Sereal, JSON::XS and YAML::XS. Lesser known formats are: ASN.1, Avro, BERT, BSON, CBOR, JSYNC, MessagePack, Protocol Buffers, Thrift.

What JSON is, is a string representation of simple data types and combinations of simple data types. Once you use the json module to convert your data to a string, you write it to a file … Read more

save numpy array in append mode

The build-in .npy file format is perfectly fine for working with small datasets, without relying on external modules other then numpy. However, when you start having large amounts of data, the use of a file format, such as HDF5, designed to handle such datasets, is to be preferred [1]. For instance, below is a solution … Read more
