Hi guys. I'm trying to get into station trading and found evementat.

Basically, I'm trying to populate the market section on that list. Is there a way to do this in a more automated fashion? Right now I'm searching for the item I want and then importing cache.

if you are looking for the static data that list what items exist in game, then you want to check out the community toolkit:
http://community.eveonline.com/community/toolkit.asp

If you need the free (called "express") version of SQL Server:

Two posts on working with the database from the toolkit:

If you are looking for market data - what is being offered for sale/purchase right now then you need to look into the 3rd party market data folks:

The market data folks depend on players uploading the data.

Eve Mentat has an IGB feature that will cycle through your current orders and then it will read the cached market data. Unless you have an order for "everything" it has no other way of "automating" the market data intake.
