I agree that any SQL solution for storing accounting and logs is somewhat crazy 
when you get a little busy. We store up to one weeks accounting logs in an SQL 
database for billing and customer care but all other logs (i.e. data retention 
for law enforcement) are stored as gzip text files in a hierarchical directory 
tree on a NFS mount. It makes searching a bit time consuming, but scripts do 
all the work for us.

I'll have a look at Mongo though as it would be handy to be able to index say 
the IP addresses..

Subject: [RADIATOR] NoSQL databases support

Greetings,

I have started looking into NoSQL solutions (mentioned in a recent thread) for 
storage of accounting data & other logging details, as storing them in SQL is 
wasting space and ending up with huge tables that take eons to sift through.

My choice so far is MongoDB, and here is some info on Perl driver & tools to 
support it:

http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Perl+Language+Center

I'd like to share experiences with anyone trying to go this route too.

Cheers,

Mike
