I think there may be some confusion here - db2APRS is (at least in
this incarnation) is really meteo/Davis specific. The -b option just
changes the name of the MySQL database that it looks at for the data.
The data still has to be in a MySQL database, with the sdata table
that meteo generates/loads.
I'm pretty sure that Wview uses a different table structure -
unfortunately, since I have a WMII and not a Vantage, I can't test it.
I do have a different set of code (being 'alpha' tested now); that
takes a WXNOW.TXT file (2 lines, ala the one created by
WeatherDisplay) and writes an aprs formatted record to a socket, so
that might be an alternative. I'm also playing with a set of code
that will take an XML METAR feed and emit an aprs weather string.

I have tried to use the -b option to change the database and the
program
says that it is not a valid option. Has anybody had any success with
this?
Also has anybody tried to use Wview in lieu of Meteo with any
success. I am
wondering if the database fields are the same etc?
