Re: Metastock ver.7.03, stock database

Another issue with the database is its limit of 65000 entries. 

While this is enough for EOD data is only about 1.5 days of Intel tick
data and ~ 8 months of 1 min data, for instance.

I have to manually back up my data all the time since I run into the
database limitations. Furtunately they sell the developers kit so I
have much of it automated by now, but anyway ...
