I'm afraid I don't know anything about using Octave in notebooks.
Anybody know if this is something that is supported? If it is, I'll see
if I can throw in whatever you need to support integration of tables in
to it.

I also come from a financial background. At my day job, I build
platforms for quants working in energy trading and weather analysis,
based on Matlab. We use tables _all_ over the place there.

In that case I'll bump up the priority of getting table I/O working.
There was a recent update to the Octave io package that should make this
feasible.
Subscribe here if you'd like updates on table I/O progress:
