We have a logging package that logs data into a table. Part of the data that is logged are elements of a vector. A logging application automatically takes out the elemets of the vector and automatically creates column names based on it's name and the element. This data will be mixed in with lots of other scalar data, but the elements will be created next to each other. For example, I may have a table with column names like this: datetime scalar1 scalar2 scalar3 vector_1 vector_2 vector_3 vector_4 scalar4 scalar5 etc etc. I reality there is a lot more data than this. I neet to be able to select only the items of the vector - like this: select vector_1,vector_2,vector_4,vector_4 from mytable where datetime=somedatetime. So far so good. However the problem is that the vector size can vary from contract to contract. I don't want to have to change the select command for each contract we do. The format of the column name is always itemname_x where x starts at 0. So I'd like to do something like select vector_* from mytable where datetime=somedatetime. but of course this doesn't work. Anyone any ideas how I can do this?
