LIB_MYSQLUDF_TA
Checkout README in the source distribution for the most up to date version of this document.
Implements technical analysis functions as MySQL UDFs.
Currently implemented functions are:
TA_SMA
TA_EMA
TA_RSI
TA_TR (True Range)
TA_SUM (Running sum, as opposed to aggregate sum provided by mysql)
TA_PREVIOUS (Returns a result N periods ago)
Other indicators which can be derived from these functions include:
MACD
Bollinger Bands
Possibly others
INSTALLING
Compile the library
I have only tried building this on Linux with MySQL 5.1 . If you manage to build it on other
systems please let me know.
You need the following to build this library:
gcc or some other C compiler
mysql development packages
Just run make and it should build a shared library lib_mysqludf_ta.so. You might need to edit the
Makefile to tell the compiler where to find the MySQL development header files.
Install the shared library
As root, run:
make install
This simply copies the library to /usr/lib/mysql/plugin and restarts mysql. Again, you might need
to edit the Makefile if your MySQL plugin directory is different.
Register the UDFs with MySQL
The provided installdb SQL script will register all functions with mysql server:
mysql -u root -p < installdb
Basic test
From the MySQL prompt try the following simple test
SELECT ta_ema(10.0, 1);
This should return 10.0

Example
To calculate a 50 period EMA of closing prices:
SELECT datetime, ta_ema(close, 50) FROM EURUSD_86400;
sma - Simple Moving Average ( aka Running average )
ta_sma (float data, int period)
Arguments

Example
To calculate a 50 period SMA of closing prices:
SELECT datetime, ta_sma(close, 50) FROM EURUSD_86400;
rsi - Relative Strength Index
ta_rsi (float data, int period)
Arguments
data - The data to average
period - Running period to calculate for
Example
To calculate a 14 period RSI of closing prices:
SELECT datetime, ta_rsi(close, 14) FROM EURUSD_86400;
To calculate a 10 period ema of ta_rsi(14):
SELECT datetime, ta_ema(ta_rsi(close, 14), 10) FROM EURUSD_86400;
tr - Calculate True Range
ta_tr (float high, float low, float close)
Arguments
high - The Highest price for the period
low - The Lowest price for the period
close - The Closing price for the period
Example
To calculate True Range
SELECT datetime, ta_tr(high, low, close) FROM EURUSD_86400;
ta_sum - Running Sum ( as opposed to aggregate sum )
ta_sum (float data, int period)
Arguments
data - The data to average
period - Running period to calculate for
Example
This function is useful for calculating some indicators, such as Bollinger Bands.
To calculate a 50 running sum of closing prices:
SELECT datetime, ta_sum(close, 50) FROM EURUSD_86400;
To calculate the upper limit Bollinger Band of 2 standard deviations over a 21 period sma:
SELECT datetime, ta_sma(close,21) + 2*SQRT(ta_sum(POW(close - ta_sma(close, 21), 2), 21)/21)
FROM EURUSD_86400;
To calculate the lower limit Bollinger Band of 2 standard deviations over a 21 period sma:
SELECT datetime, ta_sma(close,21) - 2*SQRT(ta_sum(POW(close - ta_sma(close, 21), 2), 21)/21)
FROM EURUSD_86400;
ta_max - Running Max ( as opposed to aggregate max )
ta_max (float data, int period)
Arguments
data - The data to search the maximum value
period - Running period to calculate for
Example
To return the maximum close over the last 50 periods:
SELECT datetime, ta_max(close, 50) FROM EURUSD_86400;
ta_min - Running Min ( as opposed to aggregate min )
ta_min (float data, int period)
Arguments
data - The data to search the minimum value
period - Running period to calculate for
Example
To return the minimum close over the last 50 periods:
SELECT datetime, ta_min(close, 50) FROM EURUSD_86400;
ta_previous - Return results N periods ago
ta_previous (float data, int period)
Arguments
data - The data to lookback into
period - Number of periods to look back into
Example
See if today's close is greater than yesterday's close
SELECT datetime, close > ta_previous(close,1) FROM EURUSD_86400;
OTHER DERIVED INDICATORS
macd - Moving Average Convergence / Divergence
MACD is defined as the difference between two emas
SELECT datetime, ta_ema(close,12) - ta_ema(close,26) AS MACD FROM EURUSD_86400;
The MACD signal line is defined as an EMA of MACD
SELECT datetime, ta_ema(ema(close,12) - ta_ema(close,26), 9) AS MACD_SIGNAL FROM
EURUSD_86400;
USING WITH INTEGER DATA INSTEAD OF FLOATS
Financial data tends to be stored as floats, however sometimes it might be useful to run these
functions with integer data.
The quickest way to achieve this is to use MySQL CAST:
SELECT ta_ema(CAST(integer_data_field AS DECIMAL(65), 14) FROM TABLE;
CREATING NEW FUNCTIONS
The easiest way might be to copy one of the existing .c files to a different name and modify its
implementation. The provided Makefile will pick up new .c files with no modification.
