Storing Tick data from Bloomberg to a Database

I am wondering if i can store tick data from bloomberg directly to a database without using excel because excel has a limited capacity?Thanks

Even though if i store the database on my Bloomberg registered terminal?There has to be an alternative to work with tick data from bloomberg rather than creating multiple spreadsheets to store the data.

you can. you violate your agreement if you don't have the Data License agreement. if you don't care and can somewhat program download the desktop Data API on WAPI<GO>follow the examples and save it into a database. or use VBA and write a macro that does it directly from the spreadsheet you've downloaded.
