Re: Deleting Option tickers from the data base

Dear Tomasz,
Sorry, I misunderstood your "it scans the database" and thought it 
works in AA.
So, I repeat my question:
How can I delete all stocks from my Group 10 ?
An undesirable mix of Athens SE and AMEX occurred in the same 
database and I want to get rid of AMEX, if it is possible.
Best Regards
Dimitris Tsokakis
