hi raoul! postgres support would be most excellent. i think the biggest obstacle is the case sensitivity of column names. the schema uses mixed case, and the column names are not consistent (some are snake_case, some are camelCase). these names are used directly (case-sensitive), throughout the weewx code, and particularly in the templates and plots. the problem i encountered when doing a half-hearted attempt at postgres support (almost 10 years ago!) was the case sensitivity of the database. i seem to recall issues mapping the mixed-case names into postgres (and also mysql on windows? or maybe mysql with a case-sensitivity option enabled?) queries.
anyway, from a development point of view, V5 is stable enough that you are pretty safe to target that branch. most of the changes now are packaging and bugfixes as we get ready for a release. the core has been pretty stable for awhile. but i defer to tom - he might want your changes to go through the development branch before hitting V5. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
