- nickpsecurity 9y agoEspecially in something like kdb.
- throwaway7645 9y agoI hear this a lot, but am confused in that I can't find hardly any examples anywhere. It'd be nice if kx systems put some videos of people querying data and building charts...etc.

- throwaway7645 9y agoA nice demo, but still doesn't show examples of a customer going through an example dataset and building dashboards. The kx site is good at talking about all their customers without giving a whole lot of real info. I wish they had a 64-bit hobbyist license.
- nickpsecurity 9y agoI don't know about 64-bit but people in prior HN discussions said you can download a free one off their web site. You should be able to extrapolate some things from that. EDIT: https://kx.com/download/ https://kx.com/download/
- throwaway7645 9y agoTrue, and thank you. I think it'd be nice if they had a video of a user on a sample system running queries and building displays. Yea I can play with the demo, but for that price I'd expect some promotional materials to be made.
- tluyben2 9y agoCheck nsl.com and https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok for playing around with examples. Ofcourse if you want all facilities, you'll need kx. You can play with 32 bit version.
