I just wanted to give a little feedback.

Firstly, I have WeeWX logging stuff into PostgreSQL and generating the 
Season report without issues.

But.... I did have to change some stuff outside of the DB driver. There are 
a lot of assumptions built into the system, specifically around 
non-standard SQL which MySQL uses and SQLite allows because of MySQL.

I've tried to make things slightly more DB-agnostic, and moved a couple 
things to the base Connection object so that they can be overridden. It's 
not very pretty, but it works.

I still don't have the tests running properly, I couldn't find any docs on 
exactly how to set up the tests, and both the MySQL and PostgreSQL tests 
fail when I just run "make test"

Anyway, here's what I have so far:
