Retroactively calculate database fields

Hi,

I've added new fields to the database (e.g. sunshineTime) and I'm populating them with an adapted version of the radiationhours.py extension.

Is there a way to also populate those fields for data records of past times?

I've tried "wee_database --calc-missing", but had no success.

Ideas and hints highly appreciated!

Thanks!

Manfred

Pushing once.

Is there a way to perform the calculations of 3rd party extensions for historic timestamps in the database?

Probably not without writing something equally custom.

The algorithms are (hopefully) well enough known to let a determined developer cook up some utility to do so.
