Dense vs. sparse data format

Description

The example 'indexeg' shows how to read data tables with different formats from various data sources:

  • a dense 3x2 table
  • a dense 2x3 table
  • a sparse 2x3 table
  • a 2x4 table with partially indexed format

A data may be accessed from Mosel through an ODBC connection (using the odbc driver, indexeg.mos, or with SQL statements, indexeg2.mos), with the software-specific driver excel (indexeg3.mos), or with the portable mmsheet module that can be used to read and write xls, xlsx (indexeg5.mos) and csv (indexeg6.mos) files.

The first two methods (odbc driver and SQL statements) apply to spreadsheets and databases. In addition, for Oracle databases we show how to use the software-specific connection provided by the module mmoci (indexeg4.mos).
