Hi Sebastian, Thanks for response. Problem with another log file is that solution is doubling number of I/O transactions. At some point, data needs to be phrased into database and written to disk. I'm afraid doubling operations will cause bottlenecks during high load traffic peaks and slow-down maximal throughput.
Maybe I should consider another direction of storing bind events into database in strict transaction mode. Any known approaches?
