Well, it took ~20 hours for wee_database --fix-strings to munge my old wview_archive.sdb on my little 1.6GHz Celeron (which, not so long ago, would have been a supercomputer!), but it worked! To merge that data with the data from weewx for the last month, I opened weewx.sdb with sqlite3 and .dumped the archive table into a file, edited that file to get rid of the lines that packaged it as a transaction and created the table, then opened my newly repaired wview database and added the data that I had just dumped by .read. Then I renamed my newly merged database, including all the data from both dbs, but only the archive table, to weewx.sdb, crossed my fingers, and restarted weewx. Voila, it all works! Took <5 minutes to build the new day summaries, etc. And my site <http://jerryfiddler.com/weewx/index.html> now has data back to 2006.
Thanks for all the help! I'm looking forward to working with weewx. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
