I see what you're saying. But a slow or messed up pipe can lead to lost log data. This is a situation where MySQL being faster would make it worth it. I think it would be safer to use that perl thingy to just write the data to a table as fast as possible and then let the database touch it only after the log file is closed. Hell, it might even be better to just set up a customlog that writes in table format. Lost data is bad. :) +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | -=I T ' S P R I N C I P L E T H A T C O U N T S=- | |=- -=ALAN KEYES FOR PRESIDENT=- -=| | Balanced Budgets Personal Freedoms Morality Lower Tax | |=-- http://www.Keyes2000.com. --=| +�������������������������������������������������������������������+
