I'm doing a small project to identity particular stock movements out of the universe of stock quote histories from Yahoo.  Basically, I would be iterating a screen over several thousand time series.

I could save and use several thousand CSV files saved by get.hist.quote, but storing the data in a database like MySQL seems to be a better idea, especially since more stock prices would be added in the future.

I googled r lists for this subject, read r manuals, and skimmed the TOC of one or two Times Series using R books and didn't turn up much in the way of concrete application of MySQL.  The best I found was a hint by Bollinger on this list pointing to a number of packages (including python-related).

Any suggestions on where to look and ways of approaching my project?

Thanks,
Ming
