I did some more work on this because I was curious about SQLite and how it 
handled nulls. Other systems I've used in the past didn't do a good job 
with nulls, but I've been out of this kind of work for a while >10 years 
now. So I mostly avoided them in past. But they were systems with a lot 
more users. Not a single user type for use at the edge. It's not like there 
are going to be lots of concurrent writes to the same table in a SQLite 
setting or even 1,000's of transactions in an hour.

I tried three files. All with the same ~5.4 million rows.

There is one thing I haven't tested. Inserts. Maybe another time, maybe it 
isn't worth it.

In one file I filled all the null fields with -1 as a test and compared it 
to the original. There was no benefit, it ended up being a little slower 
(about 10% longer) and the table size did grow by 17%. Both on initially 
pass and on subsequent passes without closing the file. I also tried these 
two statements as I didn't include pressure previously so there were both 
nulls and values other than null in that column:

In the table that has nulls;
SELECT * FROM archive where ifnull(pressure,1); # this used to be very slow.

In the table that has -1';
SELECT * FROM archive where pressure = -1;

It seems to able to pick out nulls faster than values, opposite of other 
systems I've used. I was wrong about nulls in SQLite.

On to my altered schema where I removed all the columns I don't have 
sensors or calculated values for.

The altered schema is faster on the initial query, ~440ms to ~770ms as I 
used before, SELECT * from archive WHERE datetime BETWEEN 1490563860 and 
1546298910;. But very close to the same after it's cached (about ~20ms) as 
Tom correctly pointed out. I did make that error. I probably executed the 
one query 2x and the other one only once without realizing it.

My last test between the shortened schema and the original wview_extended. 
For the original run of the original query above the smaller scheme is 
~470ms compared to ~730ms. Subsequent runs after caching no real difference 
but still it's still slightly faster, 10ms. I picked a new query to try.
SELECT datetime, windDir FROM archive WHERE windDir = 45;

When cached it's ~1045ms in the shorted schema and ~1141ms in 
wview_extended. Not huge but on the order of 10%. Again a single user 
machine probably nothing to write home about. The only thing I found 
interesting about this one is that there is no real benefit from caching 
for this one, no idea why, about 30ms longer on initial run.

BTW I sailed on a J/42 on a long time ago. Also had a Flying Scot 4925 for 
a while.
