Daily prices for a long period of time can increase the size of a file pretty 
significantly. I don't recall what my own results were when I pruned my price 
db and replaced it with monthly numbers, but I do remember a dip in size. 
Whether that size affects anything in regular use is another thing altogether.

Hi Snehal,

Possibly adding daily prices for 7 years would have an unwanted effect on the 
size of the database or the performance…
Perhaps monthly may be all that is required, or only add those prices to a 
one-off database?

Regards,
Chris Good
