Hello,
I'm a beginner with Pyable.
I wanted to store a database in a HDF5 file using PyTable. The DB is
made by a CSV file (which contains the subject information) and a lot of
images (I work on MRI so the images are 3 dimensional float32 arrays of
shape (121, 145, 121)). The relation is very simple: there are a 3
images per subject.
My first idea was to create a class Subject like this:
class Subject(tables.IsDescription):
# Subject information
Id = tables.UInt16Col()
...
Image = tables.Float32Col(shape=IMAGE_SIZE)
And the proceed like in the tutorial (open a file, create a group and a
table associated to the Subject class and then append data to this table).
Unfortunately I got an error when creating the table (even before
inserting data):
HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.4-patch1) thread 140612945950464:

tables.exceptions.HDF5ExtError: Problems creating the table
I think that the size of the column is too large (if I remove the Image
field, everything works perfectly).
Therefore what is the best way to store the images (while keeping the
relation)? I have read various post about this subject on the web but
could not find a definitive answer (the more helpful was
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8843062/python-how-to-store-a-numpy-multidimensional-array-in-pytables).
I was thinking to create an extensible array and store each image in the
same order than the subject. However, I would feel more comfortable if
the subject Id could be inserted too (to join the tables).
Any help?
