ive been using kdb+/q for over 5 years now - in a financial setting. I'd be happy to see the language go more "mainstream". There are definitely a lot of complaints about the terseness. There's no doubt, this adds to the steepness of the learning curve. But once you "see the light" you start realizing that you can do the same thing you do in perl or python in just 1 line in KDB. It makes more sense.
- kbody 12y agoI'm working on a algo-trading system and thinking of moving my tick data to kdb+, however I see no price on their site, care to enlight? Also, do you know what are the limits of the free evaluation/32-bit version? Thanks
- beagle3 12y ago32 bit version is 32 bit (databases limited to about 2GB per process, as are memory mappings). If that's good for you, use it. The 64-bit was, last I inquired (8 years ago or so) was in the "if you have to ask you can't afford it" oracle territory.
