Re: [amibroker] SQL databases

I have been using my own SQL external data plugin for about 6 months.  I 
find it to be decently fast -- for instance, it can retreive 1 minute quotes 
for about 1500 bars in real time without a problem.  I use sqllite to edit 
the database.  Also writes well.  I can't compare to other approaches 
though.
