Transfer data from an older Versionto 4.1.1

[rolz...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

can someone please explain me how to get the records from the database of version 3.9.2 to the database of version 4.1.1. 

The current installation (4.1.1) is on a new computer.

Thanks in advance

Best regards, Rolf

If you have a station with a data logger (such as a Davis), you can simply stop weewx, copy the old database to the new computer, and restart weewx.  Weewx will catch up the database with whatever records are in the datalogger.

Or you can dump the old database to a file and restore it to the new database, then rebuild_daily to build the summary tables.

you do not have to use the new xtended schema with 4.1.1 unless you NEED the extra fields.  My first question therefor is @do you need the extra fields@??

Yes, i need the extra fields.
