Before I really start, I have a preliminar question:
my aim is to provide the site manager with statistics about what the
user requested, where he cames from (ROI), and what subscription
method he ended up with. Should I store add data only for one access,
or should I store as many of them as I can on each page ?
If I'm not wrong, I should be able to tell for access log entry X that
user was on page X before that with add data A and B, right ? But I
think that such a query is more resource intensive. On the other hand,
Storing many add data (something like 5 or 6 add info) for each entry
might end up with a big DB right ?

And does the split_tables plugin also splits the add_data table ?

By the way, no, add_data are not documented :)
