Will MT5 implement native DB support?
It was discussed on Russian forum (1.5 years ago)
Форум по трейдингу, автоматическим торговым системам и тестированию торговых стратегий
Нужно ли добавить в MQL5 нативные функции обращения в MySQL базу данных(например)?

Реализация возможна в будущем, а пока есть масса других приоритетов.Translation :
Implementation is possible in the future, but for now there are lots of other priorities.
I'm wondering if Metaquotes is planning such feature or not. My opinion is that databases for automated trading is a must. I've tried several librairies for db access, ADO, MySQL, SQL Server and SQLLite to name a few. All are rather old and not maintained at all by their authors. For me, only two of them work, but I'm not entirely satisfied, and I guess they won't work anymore soon because they are outdated.
So my expectation for the future is that Metaquotes offers db access natively, using at least ODBC in order to use any database in the market.
Are your robots using databases? Did you hear about some development from Metaquotes about this?
