Introduction

The Web Log DB exports web log data to databases via ODBC.

Web Log DB uses ODBC to perform database inserts data using SQL queries. Web Log DB allows you to use the applications you have become accustomed to such as MS SQL, MS Excel, MS Access etc. Also, any other ODBC compliant application can now be used to produce the output you desire.

Use Web Log DB to perform further analysis and special softs.

What is ODBC?

Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a widely accepted application programming interface (API) for database access. ODBC provides a standardized set of rules for getting information to and from a database. An ODBC driver is a software interface that accepts ODBC standard queries and then passes them through to the specific application, modifying where necessary to account for application specific database structure and format. The functions of a driver are invisible to users and third party applications. From a third party perspective, a standardized ODBC query or update is presented to the database, and a standardized ODBC response is returned.

Web Log DB supports more than 35 log file formats. It was tested with all popular web server programs, web proxies, firewalls and media broadcasters. Needless to say, it can recognize log file formats automatically, extract compressed log files, process multiple log files and download log files from various sources: Web, FTP. ODBC compliant databases, etc.

Web Log DB can even read most popular compressed log files: BZIP2, GZIP, ZIP, 7z, rar ans other so you won't need to unpack them manually.
