Hi, I'm thinking about using a MySQL table to store an Apache access log and do statistics on it. Currently all access log files are stored as files and compressed by day. Older log files are compressed by month, with bzip2. This gives a very good compression ratio, since there's a lot of repetition in those files. If I store all that in a regular table, it would be several gigabytes large. So I'm looking for a way to compress the database table but still be able to append new rows. As the nature of a log file, it is not required to alter previous data. It could only be useful to delete older rows. Do you know something for that?
