Hello,

It is fundamentally flawed idea to have fundamentals along with quote arrays,
simply because it would be tremendous waste of space, since funamental
data change only once a month (most frequently) and not every tick or every
second as prices are.

So historical fundamentals need *separate* database to make storage efficient.

You can have historical fundamental fields all the way by means of ODBC plugin.
