title: Are document databases good for storing large amounts of Stock Tick data?
body: <p>I was thinking of using a database like mongodb or ravendb to store a lot of stock tick data and wanted to know if this would be viable compared to a standard relational such as Sql Server.</p>
  
  <p>The data would not really be relational and would be a couple of huge tables. I was also thinking that I could sum/min/max rows of data by minute/hour/day/week/month etc for even faster calculations.</p>
  
  <p>Example data:
  500 symbols * 60 min * 60sec * 300 days... (per record we store: date, open, high,low,close, volume, openint - all decimal/float)</p>
  
  <p>So what do you guys think?</p>
