No it was someone else and their console must have been IP based... My

usually cope with multiple connections, if at all to be able to have a
setup with 2 instances of weeWX with 2 different archive reporting
periods...

That was also my point, I had 80+ columns just storing NULLs, compared to
just over 30 columns with data, now my DB is just over 1/10th it's former

it should do even better now that the table is just over 170MB...
