I'm listening very closely. Your strategy is based on the assumption that consecutive readings have consecutive primary keys. Not even just being in the right order, they have to be consecutive integers for your strategy to work. This elevates the primary key from "internal workings" to "data". Your strategy is based on the specific values of those numbers.
That's not what table primary keys are intended for in the relational database model. As I said in my previous post, it sort of works, and happens to work reliably enough for you in your situation. That's fine. You say you're a mathematician. Does coincidental relationship bear mathematical scrutiny as a general strategy in that context?
