I was wondering what the internal database format is, and if it is possible to run sql against it. It would help in verifying the
integrity of the data. For instance, I am in the process of testing a new downloader, and it downloads many thousands of rows. I am spot checking
to see if my mapping function that takes text and assigns it a corresponding number is missing any possible text values. I will be unable to hand verify
every row and am sure to miss some. With sql, I could run a query and find them immediately.

Thanks!

The application uses two types of compression and therefore you cannot access data using sql.

However, you can use the global scripting to verify the data (Tools -> Script Editor).
Use the "Databases.GetDatabasesData" function to access the data and "Global.Trace" to write to the output window (View -> Output).

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
