I build healthcare applications and the gov't regs require we log most user access to patient info.
Since I've only built one (rather large) Django app, my logging is in the same DB as my data and I use decorators in views.py to log all access. There is only one table in it's own schema that is used for this. Now I'm building additional, functionally unrelated projects but would like to use the same logging model. We use MySQL and have very low throughput and use several databases (i.e. mysql schema's) on a single linux server. Since this is used by several unrelated applications, I would appreciate some advice from more experienced developers on a good technique. Please bear in mind that I'm the only Python/Django.SQL developer in my organization so there is not the need to coordinate with multiple independent teams.. Would you recommend: a) Just duplicate the model definition in each app (i.e. move to separate file and import it for DRY) and use the ".using() clause or a db router? b) Create a separate app, dedicated to this -- but what's the best way to do a "cross app" reference c) create a separate site dedicated to this -- then should I use a url to pass it the logging data making it decoupled or is there a better way Any insight would be appreciated. As I said, I work solo at the office so this is my only way to collaborate with other professionals. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
