Re: Pattern matching problem

Chad,

Thanks so much; will do some research into data normalization.

Just FYI (sorry to bug you further) the table structure looks like this:

Columns: ID, Date, Sector, Tickers, Title, Link, Body

So really each row is like an article that is tagged with a variety of tickers. Would this kind of implementation still work with your table structure?

I'd imagine I'd create a separate table of tickers then somehow join that table to my article table?

Also, I have a few hundred articles in the database... might there be some way to extract the tickers that are associated with each one into the new database?

and one FINAL question -- do you have a donate button or something? Your help is fantastic.


Thanks again...
