-
HDFStore.select(key, where=None, start=None, stop=None, columns=None, iterator=False, chunksize=None, auto_close=False)[source]¶ Retrieve pandas object stored in file, optionally based on where criteria.
Warning
Pandas uses PyTables for reading and writing HDF5 files, which allows serializing object-dtype data with pickle when using the “fixed” format. Loading pickled data received from untrusted sources can be unsafe.
See: https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html for more.
