Hi everyone -

We recently started logging our apache logs directly into a mysql db.  Two
questions:

1. The db files are growing fairly rapidly.  Will inserts begin to slow the
larger the database gets?  Is there a recommended method for rotating the
database every few gigs (it's all in one table, so we could rotate the
table...)  Or should we just keep letting it grow and maybe deal with it
down the road?  After a a few hundred gigs, say....

2. Does anyone have an already thought out set of SQL queries that will
generate useful data given a database full of log files?  I know all those
database analysis tools do something along those lines, except they parse
the log rather than querying a db.  (ie Unique visitors for a given time
period, exit pages, entry pages, etc)


Thanks in advance,
Chad Arimura
