Hello Rohit,
The difference between
UpdateRecord/ReplaceRecord/FileReplace are the following:
Update record: will try to overwrite the price data fields
provided by ascii file for
the particular ticker symbol and for the particular date and time(if
intraday). But will not
overwrite other fields already present in the database.
Let me take an example as to where this could be used, I'll
take an example of updating NSE (India) bhav copy data into MS format,
say you have converted the cash Bhav copy into MS format using asc2ms.
Remember NSE bhav copy does not contain delivery based information in
it, so you need to get it seperately from NSE as MTO_<date>.DAT file,
after converting this delivery data into ascii format you could use
updateRecord option to update the "delivery" information into "open
interest" field of the price data.
ReplaceRecord: This option is similar to updateRecord, but
the difference is that the fields which are not specified in the ascii
price data file will also be updated with zeros. So I would say
"UpdateRecord" is a much safe "ReplaceRecord" option. So better use
"updateRecord".
FileReplace: This option is usefull if you dont want any of
the price data already available in the Fxxx.DAT/MWD file, so your old
data will be completely replaced by the new data. Use this option with
care, since this will erase all old data in the Fxxx.DAT/MWD file.
As far as testing is concerned, I have been using this tool
all the while, and continuosly adding new features into it, and as and
when I find bugs I correct them and release new versions. This is a
beta tool so use this tool after taking adequate backup of your data.
I personally take backups of my data regularly.
Regards,
Mansoor.
