I'm just thinking about another project, and wonder how WeeWx uses the
default database.
When it is running does it open and leave open the database all the time?
If so, is the database able to have another program add records to the
database while WeeWx has it open?
The reason I ask, is that I would like to have another program running
which reads snow depth from a Campbell Scientific table, then add that
value to the standard database at say 15 minute intervals with a field
defined and added to the schema.
In some days past, I know some databases would prevent more than one
attempt to access it, even if not in the traditional deadly embrace
situation.
If WeeWx is busy stuffing new values in every 2 seconds during loop
functions, can I also access it simultaneously as long as I don't try to
touch the fields that WeeWx is writing to?
Or is it necessary to shut down, briefly, access, then have the snow
depth program open it, write the value, close it and then let WeeWx go
merrily on it's way?
I hope this question is within the scope of this user discussion. Dale
