Are you saying you only want to insert *certain* messages into the
database? I really don't understand.

I see now that my example syslog-ng.conf doesn't have an example line
for using sqlsyslogd. If that's what you need, here you go:

----
destination sqlsyslogd { program("/usr/local/sbin/sqlsyslogd -u sqlsyslogd -t logs sqlsyslogd -p"); };

log { source(src); destination(sqlsyslogd); };
----
"src" in this case is all the incoming messages, there's no filtering of
messages.

You still need to setup your database according to the instructions for
sqlsyslogd. Read the docs that come with it.
