I know this is not directly a DBA question but I thought maybe someone
would have some experience.
My web team is wanting to implement a logging service which will log all
calls to their web services and info about who and what was called. And so
they are wanting to store this in the database in some table or tables.
Which basically means that every call to the database will generate an
additional call for logging. To me this seems like a bad idea to store in
the database. I am either thinking of creating a separate database just
for logging or well I don't know. I suggested just writing it all to a
file and use something like Splunk but for some reason which I haven't
found out yet they said that would not work for them.
Any suggestions/advice? Is this normal practice to log back to the database?
