The sensible thing to do would be to read a year's worth of temperature and wind speed, all in one go --- one database access. Then use the results to calculate the year's worth of windchill. The downside is that it's not general at all: it would only know how to calculate windchill. The upside is that the existing xtypes API can be used right now to do this. You'd have to write extensions for all of your missing synthesized types.
I see two things here. One is extension(s) to handle the missing synthesized types in archive periods moving forward. The second is some kind of standalone utility to 'one time' catch up a legacy db with those items that you wished it would have calculated in the ancient past. Have the standalone utility to get the legacy pain over with 'once' so you don't have to feel that pain every 5 minutes moving forward.... Kinda like how rebuild-daily or calc-missing work (?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
