Re: [Quickfix-developers] FileLog, FileStore flush

[Alexey Z. <ale...@gm...>]

Caleb,

Incoming and outgoing logs are important to control the main application.
Plus if something unusual happened how it's possible to analyze the 
situation without these logs?
I was thinking of using a database to store logs because it might be 
faster and the disk is not as fragmented as when you write into a file.

It would be nice to hear some feedbacks from guys using databases.
Are there any problems?
We have some problems of using MS SQL (not with QF) - particularly it's 
fast growing log file.
I'm not sure that MySQL will be much better.
