For examples of some of the third party tools (Cumulus [[Category:User_Contributions|user contributions]]) using the database daily summary table see [[Daily Summary#Some_example_Scripts|here]]. Of course there are also a lot of tools written to use a copy of the dayfile.txt log file, and some of these could be adapted to use the database table instead, if you are a programmer.
In my case I also store the equivalent of what appears on my version of "thismonth.htm" each month in another database table, i.e. I have one database table column for each of the weather derivatives I show on my web page that show this month's values; it is many more derivatives than are shown on the standard web page, but some are initially hidden. Consequentially, when my daily update script detects from the date that it is processing the last day of a month, it then starts another script that reads all the rows in the daily summary table for that month, and stores the highest/lowest/total (as relevant) in my monthly_summary table (nothing to do with the "monthly" table that MX can generate from its standard log file). This monthly summary table allows me to have web pages that compare consecutive months or compare months between years. Just another example of how much you can get from just one log file!
