This script should mimic the SQL listed below:

SELECT COUNT(cdate) FROM prices;
SELECT COUNT(lowp)  FROM prices;
SELECT COUNT(*)     FROM prices;
SELECT MIN(cdate),MIN(closep),MIN(volume) FROM prices;
SELECT MAX(closep),MAX(volume), AVG(closep),AVG(volume) FROM prices;

SQL lacks the ability to get data from the web.
Pandas, however, can get data from the web.
