sqlite3 user here - my experience is it works as indicated in the docs. Creates a new db versus the desired schema and fills its archive table only. You then run rebuild daily to populate the summary tables.
You should be able to restore (a copy of) your db dump manually with a little tweaking of the dump file perhaps to just restore the actual records. The old schema's content is still valid in the new bigger db schema. The new schema just has more fields. For sqlite3 the 'create table' stuff is at the top of the dump. No idea for mysql. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
