RE: ACID and MySQL questions

["Jason Lewis" <jlewis () packetnexus com>]

What exactly is the goal of the archive feature?

I actually have several "instances" of ACID.  I have one that is read-only
for general security team use.  I have one with delete rights, so I can keep
the DB manageable.  The last one is configured to view the archive where I
move interesting data.

It's not secure "Because they told me it was secure".
The people at the other end of the link know less
about security than you do. And that's scary.

The archive database is no different than the "active"
alert databaase.  Hence, there is no special
mechanism by which to view it.

I have not confirmed this, but I suspect that
in order to perform remote DB logging only the
Mysql-devel library would be necessary.
