Re: Database!?

Thanks for the respond!

I use the build-in function of the downloader to convert the text-file
datas.
Quote.com offers from all major US-stock exchanges end of day datas.
I convert every day end of day quotes for about 15000 stocks.
I have automated it with the little program "autorun for windows".
So this progrm works for me - OK.
The only thing is the difference between the volume database CD and the
text file volume...

Here is an example of the text file:

AABC,971205,10.2500,10.2500,10.1250,10.1250,1100,0
AACE,971205,17.7500,18.2500,17.7500,18.1250,15900,0
AADV,971205,66.2500,67.0000,66.1250,66.5000,26000,0
AAFG,971205,0.7500,0.8750,0.7187,0.7500,93600,0
AAGIY,971205,3.5000,3.6250,3.4375,3.6250,23900,0
AAHS,971205,3.5625,3.7500,3.5000,3.7500,22000,0

Volume is real not with an multiplikator e.g. of the Metastock database CD.

I think i should write a programm to convert at first the text-file volume
and than converting with the downloader to my database.
Any other possibilities??

Thanks
