Reg. Custom Database

Hello,

I have a CSV file, which I want to read using "ASCII Import" option and associate data with a custom database. How do I do this?

I was referring following of your blog:

https://www.quantshare.com/sa-124-how-to-create-custom-databases-in-your-trading-software

but in this, it is not clear how to associate the name of the "Custome database" while loading the data. Please see below the para in your blog:

"If you have a CSV, or Text file that contains data and you would like to use this data to populate your database, then the "ASCII Import" plug-in is the right tool to use. This plug-in is located in the "Data" menu."

Please let me know how do I go about doing this.

Thanks and best regards

Hello,

Please check this how-to lesson:

----------------------------------
It is the same process but instead of using the "Quotes" database on the "Settings" step in the previous article I sent you, you need to select the custom database But first, you need to create a custom database using "Data -> Edit databases".

Thanks QS Support team for your help.
