download mydb

Question

How do I access to the data that is saved in mydb, apparently i just can manipulate the tables when i use the xmatch service, but from the web i can't access to this. On the other hand, when i try to access from the jupyter notebook using:

csv = qc.query("select * from mydb://mytable001"). 

There is a system error message that says that this space does not exist.

Hi, 

We will be releasing a new web interface next week (Tuesday May 6th) that will allow users to view and access contents of their MyDB via the data explorer. So keep an eye out!

As for trying to access your MyDB table from a Jupyter notebook, first check that the table exists in your MyDB by doing: 

from dl import queryClient as qc
print(qc.mydb_list(),"\n")

Also check if your login token is still correct. You can run the following in a Jupyter notebook to sign back in and refresh the token:

from getpass import getpass
from dl import authClient as ac
token = ac.login(input("Enter user name: (+ENTER) "),getpass("Enter password: (+ENTER) "))

If the table is listed in your MyDB and your login token is correct but you're still seeing an error message, please respond to this comment and we can help you further investigate.
