I don't understand what the problems with using an external program for such purpose are. Simply write a 10 line long perl script where you can even preprocess messages before they go to the database, and feed this script with a pipe/program destination. Adding support for pgsql/mysql/sybase/whatever into syslog-ng is bloat in my opinion. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1

Exactly. No bloat, thank you. Search google for "sqlsyslogd", a program that does just this. -- Nate If you tell them, they never listen. If they listen, they never learn. If they learn, they never remember. If they remember, they never obey.
