you should see something like this in weewx.conf:
[DataBindings]
[[wx_binding]]
# The database must match one of the sections in [Databases].
# This is likely to be the only option you would want to change.
database = archive_sqlite
# The name of the table within the database
table_name = archive
# The manager handles aggregation of data for historical summaries
manager = weewx.manager.DaySummaryManager
# The schema defines the structure of the database.
# It is *only* used when the database is created.
schema = schemas.wview_extended.schema
