Hi,

I hope this is the right place to create an issue (the developer forum seems dead, and said it was read-only).

I can issue the following query against yahoo.finance.quotes:
select * from yahoo.finance.quotes where symbol in ("ABBY.L")

I get an error when I issue this query:
select * from yahoo.finance.quotes where symbol in ("VMED.L")

You can get individual quotes from Yahoo for each of these symbols:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ABBY.L&ql=1
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=VMED.L&ql=1

Here's the links to see the results in the YQL console:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys#h=select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.quotes%20where%20symbol%20in%20%28%22VMED.L%22%29

Is this a bug in the table definition? Or am I doing something wrong?
