tapresume
: Resumes a previous query to a Table Access Protocol server
tapresume
can resume monitoring and data retrieval
from an asynchronous Table Access Protocol query which has already
been submitted.
TAP is a Virtual Observatory protocol.
Such a pre-existing query may have been submitted
by the tapquery
command or
by some completely different mechanism.
It essentially does the same job as tapquery
but without
the job submission stage.
It waits until the query has completed, and then retrieves the table
result and processes it in accordance with the supplied parameters.
The query may or may not be deleted from the server as part of the operation.
