small

small, contextual keyword in read statement

The option small can be specified after the table name in a read statement to indicate that the table does not spread over multiple pages. If the table size exceeds the maximum page size for any vector of the table, then the script fails. If the table size exceeds the threshold, then the script fails.

read "/sample/products.csv" as Products small 10 with
  Product : text

show table "My Products" a1b3 with Products.Product

The option small offers the possibility to specify two thresholds. The lower inclusive threshold indicates the maximum number of lines that does not generate a warning. The higher inclusive threshold indicates the maximum number of lines that does not generate an error.

read "/sample/products.csv" as Products small 2 .. 10 with
  Product : text

show table "My Products" a1b3 with Products.Product

The warning threshold is intended to help avoid “slowly creeping” situations and detect that a table has grown too much before it becomes a blocking problem.
