We use the DB approach at my work because we have many web servers, and sending the logs to a DB allows us to see realtime website hits and track everything that is currently going on. The logs are sent to an intermediate script that sends to a local log file on the webserver, and then to the DB.
If you do go this route, and use MySQL, make sure the table can handle a size greater than 4GB. By default, it can't, and that hurt us when it happened...
Enjoy!

Hi All,
I am thinking about storing the log data in a database. What do you think
about it? Is it a good idea or bad idea?
Thanks
