They don't take too much space, and you'll forever after have to run off a non-standard database schema, making upgrades likely harder to do. You can certainly alter the schema weewx uses, and use wee_database to alter your archive table before doing --rebuild-daily to rebuild the summary tables, but that's a whole lot of work for not much gain in terms of space. Disk is so cheap now, it's probably an over-optimization to work that hard. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
