#* For the daily summary database table, the columns can copy the fields in the [[dayfile.txt|daily summary log file]], and this is what David Jamieson does in his approach [http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2367 a PHP script to read the contents of the dayfile.txt] where the columns are generated in the same order as the corresponding fields in the log file, so David's script uses the field numbers to identify the columns by Position (rather than by Column Name).
#* Remember that while the fields in the log appear in the order that statistic was added during Cumulus 1 development, in theory the columns can appear in any order (if all your scripts identify the columns by name rather than position) so columns associated with rain (these are separated in dayfile.txt fields 12, 13, 14, 31, and 32) can appear together, as can those for wind (these are dispersed in dayfile.txt fields 1, 2, 3, 16, 17, 18, and 39).
# If you have the skills to write your own script, then you might want to consider a different schema, daily information is in three log files for Cumulus 1, "dayfile.txt" should have the statistics for all completed days (that excludes today), "today.ini" has values for today-so-far, and "log.xml" is the Weather Diary where snow records (and general weather text) can be manually recorded. A schema that combines information extracted from those three files to show everything Cumulus has for a day is available in [http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=16880#p129719 this forum post].
