Subject: Enhancement: Combine tables
Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:01:54 -0400

From: "Mike Flynn" <mflynn [...] hanweckassoc.com>
Hello, Would be a nice feature where you could do combine two tables. Ethier with an explicit method or an overloaded operator. Something like: $table1 = $table2 + $table3; or $table1 += $table2; or $table1 .= $table2 or $table1->addTable($table2) Something -- I'm not picky ;-) Thanks for the module. Very helpful. Cheers, -Mike Flynn

What would the combine do? Append table2's rows at the end of table1, or columns? What should it do if the two tables have different numbers of columns? -- Anthony Peacock CHIME, Royal Free & University College Medical School WWW: http://www.chime.ucl.ac.uk/~rmhiajp/ Study Health Informatics - Modular Postgraduate Degree http://www.chime.ucl.ac.uk/study-health-informatics/

Hmm -- in my mind I had the tables adding more columns (ie adding tables "side by side"), but it's certainly valid to add more rows. Perhaps more appropriate is to have the addRows/addColumns method take a table argument. Differences in number of rows ( for an addColumn ) or differences in columns (for an addRow) would just add extra cells with emtpy values, just as you do now. Show quoted text

That would be a neat solution. I will have a look at that. Show quoted text
