    .."As we've seen on dozens of posts, an XML splitter would not have performed so well."..

    Jeff you have seen the yahoo .csv link I posted in this thread.

    I too investigated XML transfer of OHLCV data.

    So you Say that plain TEXT splitting is fast than XML splitting into a DateOHLCV table.

    Interesting..

    Sorry for resurrecting a post that's more than a year old... I can finally answer this with some good bit of authority... please see the following article... particularly the comparison charts.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
