Brian M,

Thanks for the reply. I am looking into doing the following with historical 
market information

a) Base Table

ID,Exchange,Description,Base Currency
Char(30),Char(10),Varchar(256),Char(5)

b) Market Data

ID,Date,HighPrice,LowPrice,OpenPrice,ClosePrice,Volume
Char(30),Date,Float,Float,Float,Float,Long

I am unsure if that table setup is the best choice or if there is a better 
way to approach it?

I've also been wondering if I should jump into the world of NoSQL 
(specifically cassandra) as I may need to have smaller pricing intervals 
than days in the future.
