Ok let me try and make it easier to understand. I have some greyhound data.
I want to take data from my master table which is called dogs.db in chunks
lets say a month at a time January 2019. I then want to use that data to
get all previous races the dog has raced in (That bit I can do) with a query.
once I have analysed the data and done some stats for each dog I want to
load the results in to a table called stats2. Then I want to get the next
months data February 2019 do the same analysis again and add the results
to stats2 then move on again a month to March 2019. I want to do this until
I reach the end of my data which is now Oct 2021.
It would also be good if I could enter the track as a variable when the script
starts. Like track name and the enter Crayford. Hope this make it clearer
Thanks for everyone's help Tony
