What about a database backend... like MySQL. To have the capability to log syslog messages into (perhaps multiple) SQL databases would be very useful, I think.

I think logging to an SQL table with only one column has no point. Analyzed log entries would have a point, but analyzing messages is beyond the scope of syslog-ng. An external program hooked to syslog-ng with a local communication mechanism (unix-stream, or named pipe) should be used instead. -- Bazsi
