| I need to add whatever table(s) are necessary to track the s&p 500 index historical constituents and I'm not sure how to do this.Would it be something like this:CREATE TABLE tblSP500 (Dt [SmallDateTime]NOT NULL, [Ticker1] [tinyint] NOT NULL, [Ticker2] [tinyint] NOT NULL, [Ticker3] [tinyint] NOT NULL, [Ticker...] [tinyint] NOT NULL, [Ticker500] [tinyint] NOT NULL)Can there be 500 columns?Otherwise would I just use a date column and a tickerid column and then have 500 rows for each date?Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks |
