Import data from separate db

AFL Programming
1

Hello everyone,

I found a few threads here but not directly relevant to my question... if I have missed one please point me in the right direction.

Let's say I have two databases: 1) NorgateDB and 2) YahooDB … I would like to know if it is possible to import specific symbols only from (1) into (2) at either startup, when I load the (2) database or even manually through OLE or AFL.

Much appreciated!

Yes, and you would have to export them from Norgate and then import them into your Yahoo DB. The Yahoo DB is not really a "Yahoo" DB in the sense that it's not controlled by Yahoo. It's a local DB that you control, so you can import into it.

You could easily create an exploration to export the symbols, symbol information, and even the quotes, then automate it with a Batch, and schedule the Batch to run. Then when you open the local DB, run the import which can also be automated with a Batch.

Our good friends at Norgate have already taken care of that issue for you. If you stick with the Norgate database you can import into that database as long as you follow these steps:

Thanks @TonyR

I was mostly interested in the reverse… basically importing from Norgate into Yahoo a few breadth symbols.

Anyway I’ll dig some more and post solutions if I can find something …
