Multi-dimensional data in htable - sr-users

17 Sep 2023

What's the best way to store multi-dimensional data within an htable?  For example,
storing an avp stack:

$avp(foo) = "first";
$avp(foo) = "second";

$sht(bar=>foo) = $avp(foo);

The result of which is that only $avp(foo[0]) is stored in the htable:

kamcmd htable.dump bar
{
        entry: 2
        size: 1
        slot: {
                {
                        name: bar
                        value: second
                        type: str
                }
        }
}

The htable documentation shows support for lists, but it doesn't make clear if this is
really usable outside of loading from a database, and looks like it's short hand for
managing/creating linked lists.  The other option would be to simply serialize the data
before storing it in the htable - which is fine, I just want to be sure I'm not
overlooking a more convenient method.
