I am working with data mixed with different periodicities, so I am using a gretl database to save the data. I am seeing two problem with this: 1- I created the database in a directory different from the gretldir, userdir and gretl database dir. So ... I couldn't find a way to open this database again!! I think gretl should have a way to open a database file from other directories, like has for the user data files. 2- I created a new directory for the databases and changed the "gretl database directory" to that directory in the settings. After reinitializing gretl, this feature is not working. In fact the databases are only being read from my gretl user directory.

Some observable variable: when you call for descriptive statistics on a variable in a panel dataset you get the "global" standard deviation as usual, but you also get the "within" and "between" standard deviations.

Thanks for the link. This is a great resource.
