As industry information is static relative to price data. You need to import the industry info once for every stock.
Set up a jscript/_vbscript_ to read the CSV file and load the industry information into AB. You can refer the the object model in the help file on how to do that.
From then on, you can use your data feed as per usual. To use the sector or industry information in your afl. use industryID() or sectorID(). Simple.
There is no need to use SQL or change your data vendor.

Thanks very much. I am trying to figure out how to make industry
sector available as a field against each stock in Amibroker. My data
feed arrives in Metastock format which doesn't have such a field. (I
have the industry sector information in Excel/CSV format).

I want to be able to determine the sector of any stock from within
AFL. Any ideas on how to do this? You mentioned the SQL interface,
are there any relevant examples of this for sector or similar?
