I considered integrating the begin and end times into the table. I'm capturing the data via ACPI events, so it's "transactional" by nature. I want to be able to keep track of false transitions (hence the is_outage field). I'm looking for a way to simplify the transitions output on my web browser, and I want to combine an offline and a corresponding online time into a single line. > I am also thinking of a scheme that uses two tables but I don't really > know your environment or requirements.

The power in my neighborhood is infamously unstable, and I'm merely keep records to complain as much as I can to the power company.
