I am pretty sure that you can take a monthly subscription,
and then drop it if you want. Ron D

databases in AB (was Code challenge)

class=731051804-03032004>Gary, thanks for your feedback. I hadn't realized
that industry and sector assignments weren't part of the CSI/AB process, and
that does matter to me. My suspicion is that that I won't really know what I'm
used to having that's missing or awkward, unless I actually buy and try CSI.

<SPAN
class=731051804-03032004>For now, I probably will continue QP for maybe
another 6 months, and talk to CSI about these details in the mean time. I'm
reluctant to pay for both, but I may have to.
<SPAN

<SPAN
class=731051804-03032004>I'm still confused about one other thing, the limit
on the number of stocks you can access in a month without paying extra. If you
do decide to limit your pulls to a smaller number of stocks, how can you pick
them without data on everything?

I'd suggest that if this is a road you want to go down, e-mail CSI
directly (rudi@xxxxxxxxxxx), and ask
them for a timeline. I've been working with Rudi on a regular basis
now in an attempt to nail down the UA data export into AB to a standard that
mimics QP's ease of use. For example, sector/industry group
assignments are not part of the data export which I use with QP's
data.
Development is still in early stages which means you can have a greater
impact on the final product. In the meantime, I'm keeping a
month-to-month QP subscription until the CSI export process moves to an ease
of use level where I'd be comfortable letting go of QP.
I totally agree with b's points, and having the data locally stored vs
having to be pulled in via a plugin is a big time saver IMHO.
FWIW,

impressions are fine. But I have not had time today, nor will I
tomorrow, to takea thorough look.My concerns have not been
with CSI data as such, but withthe process of getting all of that data
from CSI's UAprogram to AB. I am hopeful that 2.7.8 has this
processworking consistently, but as I said, I do not have time
atpresent to confirm this.I am happy with CSI's data from 1993
- present for bothactives and inactives. For this time period, there
is noequal that I know of.The data slightly underrepresent
inactives for a few yearsafter 1993, but even if so, it is not a major
worry for me.However, before March 1993, it appears that inactives
aremay be significantly under represented. And things getreally
spotty prior to 1990. --- Dave Merrill
