list of lists?

[Former Member]

So, ESP is added to HANA, which perfectly makes sense to me.  A natural evolution.

Now I'm wondering: is it already possible to receive list of lists (so a matrix) as a basic data type?

Data types supported in events in smart data streaming (and ESP) are all scalar,  but there are data structures in CCL  (the event processing language used by SDS and ESP) that can be used to create a list of lists (dictionaries and vectors - and  you can have, for example, a dictionary of dictionaries).

Tnx mate!

So you can create lists of lists and other nightmares in CCL, but not digest them directly in an adapter without building the list of list structure first based on scalar types which are digested by the adapter.
