I use monthly tables for sql accounting.  works good for me.

ie. AccountingTable `acct_%f%g` for the AuthSQL

So, as the month changes, radiator starts to insert into a different table.  Of 
course, you have to have these tables created before the month starts.  A quick 
script and a cron job handles this to make sure the tables are created a few 
months ahead of time.  Also makes it easy to rotate out and archive old data 
(ie. old sql tables).
