download end of day stock data from Yahoo Finance to my SQL server 2008 R8

Hi, I like to download end of day stock data from Yahoo Finance to my SQL server 2008 R8. I read something about StreamInsight, can I use this to download end day stock data. I need a simple script to download the data, are to make a connection with Yahoo Finance. Thanks Financialswing

StreamInsight is used for complex event processing and tapping into 'data streams' - not quite what you need for periodically downloading some data and loading into a database. You might be better looking at SSIS as a way of importing a daily file.

There's an [article over on SQL Server Central][1] on setting up a process for doing exactly this. It should give you at least a good starting point. You can also post questions to the author there if you get stuck. [1]: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/StreamInsight/68375/

Hey, I haven't done it myself. But that's how one person did it.

True. Still wouldn't use StreamInsight for a once-a-day update though :)
