Averages and Extrems for selected period

[kapo]

Hi steve
This averages and extremes for selected periods on the screen is something that I have dreamed to be in a part of my webpage in statistics page. This table is something that many of my friends have said, after they have seen it on Cumulus screen, that it would be very interesting query tool on web page? Is this on Your future plans, at least a part of those ? Hope it is.

Yes, hopefully. It's currently not really practical because the information is generated as required by extracting it from the log files, so to do it as web tags would mean web page processing would probably be very slow. So another approach will be required. I think it will need to be done using a database on the web site, so until there is support for this in Cumulus itself, you would have to create your own database using the contents of dayfile.txt (which is where most of the information for that screen comes from).

O.k.
Is there coming "a database on the web site,which support for this in Cumulus itself" in Your future plans. I have those databases as "dayfile and monthly" ready. Only prob is that I don't know how to do those kind of queries from them so that they work like that in my question does....

Yes, hopefully. I'm looking into alternative client libraries for MySQL, as I can't use the one from Oracle because of the licence.

I don't think I'll be able to help with that side of things, as I have no expertise. The Cumulus support will simply involve putting the data into the database for use on the web site.
