Short answer is 'usually'. You can certainly rebuild the daily summaries without first dropping them and that will solve most folks issues. There are some corner cases where dropping the daily summaries is required (for example some daily summary metadata issues are not fixed by a rebuild alone and a drop is required first) but such cases are rare. This has been the case for some time, I'm not sure if the 'dropping of the drop' occurred when the database structure changed in v3.0.0 or if it was later when we dealt with the weighting issue issue at issue #61. Am sure Tom will have the details. > I other words, you can rebuild the daily records even if they already > exist? > Yes. The beauty of not dropping and just date/time limiting your rebuild is that you only lose the loop based max/min fidelity (if loop_hilo = True) of your daily summaries for those summaries that were rebuilt (rather than losing for all summaries if you drop).
