HI forum,
i've just managed to compile and run MOV.
I've had problems with importing quotes from YAHOO!, error regarding the db interface: it would complain about "," for every line of data to parse.
Rather i've been able to use MOV to visualize data stored in beancounter format, provided an SQL view with name "shares" is created as such:
beancounter=# create view shares as select date,symbol,day_open as open,day_low as low, day_close as close, day_high as high, volume from stockprices;
there are still problems btw:
1) don't know what would happen on update
2) not sure about functionalities (data might differ, from float to real)
3) volume is a problem since volumes on some indices have gone above int4, now - at least speaking postgres - they have to be int8, so i think mov should take that in account.
4) also it would be interesting about the data model, i haven't found if there is more tables or such, just "reverse engeneered" from what mov created in postgres.
regards.
