Re: [syslog-ng] abandon libdbi and write a new sql driver?

I know I've also heard many recommendations of piping out to a perl script to do the inserts. A perl script should never do its job faster than C code.

Certainly never faster, but the degree to which it is slower should be weighed against the time commitment (and resultant opportunity cost) of creating a whole new library. That said, I'm all for a new library. Something that could speak HandlerSocket would be a huge win.
