I'm looking for help in a discussion to decide to either log everything
in relational database or just keep logs in plain files.
>From the file perspective:
* (+)DB normalization with a lot of different DB schemas seems a lot
of work/impossible. It feels a bit like the google vs yahoo approach.
* (+)Easier to calculate checksums on files: database queries
* (+)You would avoid understanding all logfiles and parsing them to
an "uber"logformat
* (+)Files index more easily then database.
