Hi there,

Not sure if this list is still up or not, I've only received 1 message 
in the last 2 months. mod_log_sql has been purring along just 
tickety-boo though, so it hasn't been much of an issue til now.

My problem now is that I'm swimming in data, my servers have generated 
nearly 2 gigs worth of mysql tables in the last 5 months and now I'm 
starting to wonder how to go about maintaining it over the long term. 
My logging machine is just a lowly 1 gig Celeron (that hardly breaks a 
sweat keeping up with mod_log_sql), so while it's going great right 
now, I'm sure it will start to crawl a bit as things grow.

Using myisampack and merge tables looks like a valid route to go, e.g. 
given a host foo.com I would once a month dump the records in 
access_foo_com into access_foo_com_year_month (or something to that 
effect), run myisampack on it and then, if I understand the limited 
documetation for mysql merge tables, create a merge table that contains 
access_foo_com, access_foo_com_2003_03, access_foo_com_2003_04 etc and 
query that to find out my results on an ongoing basis.

Or have I understood wrong? What is everybody else doing? from the 
sound of things this module is being used in some fairly large ISP's 
etc. Surely someone smarter than I has come up with a solution for this.

TIA,

Tom Wiebe
