What I meant by "database" here...

... is the simple definition of database that basically means a collection of data. For example, if you have, say, an Excel file with the names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and birthdates of your friends and family, you have a simple database... And the source of the historical transactions that are used in OOTP is really just a simple Excel/csv file. So what would be needed with this idea is simply a "collection of data" in a simple csv or Excel format. The structure of the "collection of data" need not be complex at all. The real work is in the
gathering of the data to be placed in the database. And that work wouldn't so much be difficult as it would be tedious & time-consuming. But very doable
