would the normalize process allow me to break the message apart to insert 
fields from the message into a table?

Yes, and when you go to insert individual fields, you will want to adjust the template that you use to insert into the database to put the fields where you want them in the database.

I am trying to use the msg contains:

 directive to log a specific firewall policy  message to a database

would this be best to do in a template

no, all a template does is format the message.

currently I have it going to a flat file but I cannot seem to get it to log to 
a mysql database

:msg, contains, "policy_id=xxxx" /var/log/policyidxxx.log

so what you need to do is to look up the output module to put logs into your
database and replace the file output with the database insertion.
