Logging Text or SQL

  • I am in search of knowledge... For Logging .....what is the best option among Text FIle or SQL table, can anyone give me a detail knowledge plz

  • If it's in a table, you can more easily select from the logs and log details to perform additional administration. Notifications or whatever. This solution can give you more flexibility [perhaps later] over a text file.

  • There is no right or wrong answer on this one.

    SQL --> easy to search for something specific using queries and useful to build reports on

    Flat file --> better write performance, especially if you log a lot.

    Need an answer? No, you need a question
