If I understand you correctly you have another database you want WeeWX to 
connect to. This database does not have a dateTime field that stores a Unix 
epoch timestamp, but rather it has a field that stores a UTC date-time in a 
YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS format. The database does not have usUnits or interval 
fields. I assume you wish to be able to (as a minimum) use data from this 
database in WeeWX generated reports.

WeeWX will certainly be able to 'connect' to the database but unless you 
have a dateTime field that stores a Unix epoch timestamp you will be 
severely limited in what WeeWX can do with the data in the database. The 
reason being that almost all WeeWX report tags (eg $current, $day, $week 
etc) rely on there being a dateTime field (that holds a Unix epoch 
timestamp) that WeeWX can use in the underlying SQL queries that support 
the WeeWX tags. The lack of a usUnits field will certainly create issues 
with units whether you are converting units or not. The lack of an interval 
field is probably less of an issue but it will certainly create some 
limitations as well.

Your best approach might be to develop a WeeWX service that reads the 
relevant data from the external database, makes the necessary conversion 
from the UTC date-time field and determines a usUnits value and the saves 
these fields and the relevant data in a suitable WeeWX database. If the 
system that produces the external database has some means on interrogating 
it for the data you are interested in, and if your WeeWX machine can 
connect to it, another approach maybe to develop a WeeWX service to obtain 
the data of interest direct from the external system and save it to a WeeWX 
database. Ether way will take some effort, the first approach will require 
some SQL skills and the second, if possible, some basic skills like used in 
many of the WeeWX drivers.
