es anyone have any objections to this? If not, then unless someone else wants to do it, I'll start working on this, and fixing up the file read code to properly convert old "zero-price" splits -> split quotes immediately. Speak now... Thanks -- Rob Browning <[EM

Re: DB design document

t be very efficient if stored in a table with a bunch of other fixed length fields. In that situation, perhaps we make a table of all the fixed length (the more computational/indexable fields), and another table of blobs that are indexed to the first table by GUID. I think this is the kind of quest

Re: Thoughts about the stock quote database

r that? In point of fact, I don't really care which way we go, and I think you know me well enough to know that difficulty in implementation isn't usually at the top of my criteria list. I'd just like to make sure we pick the best answer given what we know and where we think we might

Re: Thoughts about the stock quote database

anges, but which ones? This is getting messy. I defintely don't know enough right now to know what the "constants" here are. Company name changes are obviously ephemeral, but, thinking about it, it seems like ticker symbols, and perhaps even exchanges could be too... -- Rob Browni

Re: DB design document

nother mail, I kinda think we might be better served moving to one global, flat account list and having various hierarchical structures pointing into that for display/organization purposes, but even if we decide to do taht, it's probably not going to happen in the next month or so. FWIW.
