Are you serious? A database is the best thing for datamining,
but can never beat a properly tuned disk unless you have it
running on a beefy server with lots of ram.
Lets do some math:
Overhead of database + overhead of disk !< overhead of disk
One of the best things you can do is prefix the logfile location with a "-" such as:
*.* -/var/log/all.log
That prevents syslogs from calling sync() and flushing every write to disk. It also means there is
a chance of loosing some syslog lines, but it gives you much less disk writes.
