Personally I'm using MySQL as my Log database. At first I was using
Windows Access as the fronted, but latelly I have made a few PHP3 scripts
to use the Web Browser as the frontend to my Log database. This is yet in
the first stage because I don't have enough time to develop everything I
need.
BTW, you can give me ideas to improve the frontend.
If someone wants to grab this idea, but advice to use PHP3 language
instead of Perl. It is far easier to access database and you can interlace
PHP3 code with HTML in the same file. You can also build several Web pages
with only one script.
