Hi!
I'm thinking about creating a table listing my shares (say 'Shares') and
then update its price column from a .txt file (say 'Prices') downloaded
from an internet site periodically.
Recalling past readings my first idea would be to use
something like:
=> update table Shares set price = (select price from Prices)
where
Shares.name = Prices.name;
and, of course, table Prices would be re-construed each time as a
=> copy Prices from raw.dowld.txt
My question is:
. Is there a better way to do that?
. Is it possible to introduce any automation in the process?
Your suggestions (even to docs/how-tos) shall be appreciated.
Regards,
Ennio.
