Just a quick question. I'm playing around seriously for the first time with MySQL. The man page for getSymbol.MySQL says I shouldn't call it directly. However I note from reading that the default assumptions for column names don't match what I have in my database. Additionally I have other columns in the database I'd like to fetch if possible. (Indicators, trading system status, etc.)
Is there any way to remap the column names that get fetched within R using getSymbol? I.e. - a generic fetch of whatever column I want instead of just predefined price data? Am I better off in the long run digging into the getSymbol.MySQL R code and then making my own function to do this job? Maybe there's a more general package for MySQL interface vs one used specifically for stock data?
