Is Polyent database open? Can I find all the numbers you report in your database?

A. Yes Polypaths database is an “open” database, which means, we publicize our tables, and we use only tables and not stored procedures in our design so what we store in our database is exposed to any standard SQL query. However, querying the database might not be the easiest way to get our data out, the major reasons for that are the derived columns, and aggregated numbers. In general, we only store columns that cannot be derived easily on-the-fly in the reports, we also don’t store any denominated numbers (numbers that change based on the market value of a position) so we can scale up/down without having to ask you to recalculate. Also we don’t store aggregated numbers; they are all calculated on-the-fly.
