    best way to hack up an rdbms to approximate something like kdb for poor/dumb people

    There is another open source product called Pentaho Data Integration (Kettle) that can be used to scrub the data & then load it into infobright. It works well for everything I've used it for so far. http://community.pentaho.com/

    best way to hack up an rdbms to approximate something like kdb for poor/dumb people

    either one of these works for me: USE Futures_Data; SET @bh_dataformat = 'txt_variable'; select Symbol from Futures_Data where Symbol = "AD" limit 10; or USE Futures_Data; SET @bh_dataformat = 'txt_variable'; select Symbol from Futures_Data where Symbol = 'AD' limit 10;

    Best practices?

    I'd list to see some ideas of others on exception type situations. I'm sure there are some I haven't thought of and others may have. We should be able to learn from the exceptions identified by others, even if they are situation specific.

    Best practices?

    Maybe I'm missing something but I'm not seeing how you could not do this using an architecture like OpenQuant (and others use). I think its worth looking at the API guide and re-thinking some of this. PM me to discuss more if needed.
