I have not been following the Ecowitt barometer discussion. As for the database, it already supports three kinds of barometric pressure: fields 'pressure', 'altimeter', and 'barometer'. See the wiki article *Barometer, pressure, altimeter <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Barometer,-pressure,-and-altimeter>* for the differences between them.
What does relative pressure offer that these fields don't already do? In any case, it's easy enough for you to add a new field in your own database. See the section *Adding a new type to the database <http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#add_archive_type>* in the Customizing Guide.
