Hi Luis, I thought about that long ago, but decided to use flat files to keep the stats and this has worked really well over the years. One file per server for 400+ servers.
Also DBs are slower in comparison to a file loading... I'd have to make one or more transactions per server where as i load the file into a variable and i have all the data there... keeping it simple... The files repository is centralized in this way... thanks for the suggestion... ---------------------=--------------------- Xavier Bury Clearstream Services TNS NT LAN Server [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 09/11/2007 10:31:14: > Instead of files 'per se', why not write to a database?
