I down loaded the TSX database. Where is this data stored on my hard drive?

Hi,

It is stored in a compressed format under the following folder: [QuantShare Path]\Database\[Account Name]\
You cannot read the data without QuantShare.

Thanks for the response even if I'm disappointed. It looks like a SQLite DB file which, with access to the password & ID I should be able to access. I'd hoped to utilize your market data for foreign markets, but must do so with my own software program. If you are willing to share the access info I'd be delighted to subscribe, but as it is now Quantshare won't work for me.

Regards,
Martel

Hi Martel,

There are no password or IDs. The data is stored in a blob field and it is highly compressed. Only QuantShare can decompress and read it.

You can however, export data in CSV format (single file or multiple files). Please send an email to support@quantshare.com for more information.

in addition to this! would it be possible to have the database on a shared (cloud) drive so that it can be accessd from multiple devices? I can work with quantshare on different computers but each hold their own database which then needs to be updated etc..... and IF this is possible would multiple users each with their own license then be able to access that same database?

Hi,

Yes, it is possible to do that. You can store your database in a usb key, dropbox or network drive.

Example using a usb key or dropbox: http://www.quantshare.com/how-374-how-to-create-a-mobile-database-account

We have also a case study on how to use QuantShare with Amazon EC2. Please send an email to support@quantshare.com to get a copy of this document.
