Version 5

I read the wiki article about the comming version 5.

How about some kind of event log database table? That could be for meteorological events, that rarely occur, for example the begin and end of rainstorms. Davis reports such things.

I added a link to that nice writeup in the wiki top-level page in the Development Notes section at the bottom...

Another thought. Thats is regarding daily summeries.

The accumulators collect the maximum and minimum out of every loop packet and store them to the daily summeries tables. On the other hand, the wee_database utility uses the maxima and minima of the archive records when re-building the daily summeries tables. There is nothing that can be done about that, because the loop packets are not available any more, when the wee_database utility is used. But there is another thing.

Imaging, there was a problem with one single sensor, for example the rain collector. After fixing the values in the archive table, I have to re-build the daily summeries table for that observation type. If I do so using the wee_database utility all the other daily summeries tables are re-build, too. That way I loose - for example - the maxima and minima of the temperature that were collected from the loop packets.

So I would have wished to specify a single observation type to re-build the daily summeries for.
