For my site, I've used CFLOG tags and log IP address, and UserID in addition to all other parameters...
I have a URL where I can download these cflog files (but I cfcontent them to CSV files) directly into MS Excel. I then manipulate the data there... This allows for flexible logging, and relatively easy data extraction with no performance impact. -Dov -----Original Message----- From: Barney Boisvert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 12:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Logging users actions - DB or Log4J? If you want to log query actions, then a trigger is the best, since it'll be pretty much error proof if set up properly. If you want to log business operations, then the DB/log4j distinction becomes a matter of how you want to use the data. Obviously having the log data in a DB facilitates easy report extraction (you just query the table(s)). On the flip side, logging to the DB is very likely going to be more resource intensive than logging to a file. cheers, barneyb On 9/20/05, Michel Deloux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all > > what's the best choice to store users actions in a CF > application(inserts, updates and deletes)?
