I'll post a function shortly. Making sure you have the right format is tedious and that is what the function deals with.
A tough part is following the instructions on /ODBC.html on how to make a so called system DSN. One reason to use a database is because it allow multiple writes and reads.

I don't know about the other issues discussed in this thread, except that for an application to truly get the maximum benefit from multiple cores or multiple processors, it generally needs to be rewritten, not only to make extensive use of multithreading, but to manage precisely how to allocate computing tasks among the available processors. In lieu of that, you're stuck with the same performance, but not adversely being affected by most of the other tasks the system has to do, or running multiple instances of the program. These latter options do not scale well in terms of getting more work done faster. Fortunately, for application programmers, there is Intel's threading building blocks library. Alas, for something like AmiBroker, which predates Intel's TBB, using it well would require a major rewrite. That is something I'd recommend being done, but not something I'd expect any time soon. What I do have extensive experience with is MySQL. It is open source, so it is free. You can implement what you need very quickly as long as you have a good understanding of SQL. Installation is not for the faint of heart, but this is true of all the open source databases I have seen. It IS reliable, and is used by a variety of businesses as a suitable, inexpensive alternative to MS SQL Server, Oracle, or IBM's DB/2. NB: I have not even looked at how to get AB to talk to MySQL, but if you can get your data from AB in CSV files, getting it into MySQL is a trivially simple load SQL statement.
