Default Need help figuring out how to start this project
Hey everyone!

I want to create a database for every stock symbol, and all the data that is relevant. I was going to use excel/plugin/vb method, but the plugin I use keeps returning an error that I had too many web requests. So, I know that I need to make an sql database with all the data, and import it using excel. My problem is that I need to know how to get the data from various websites into the database. The languages I know are C++, vb, and pascal, but I am willing to learn perl, php, or whatever other language is needed to acomplish this task.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
