[ace-users] Support for database logging as backend

Yes, that's correct.  That's what the log() method of ACE_Log_Msg does.

Ok.

I can't think of any way to achieve this within the current framework.
To acehive this you'd need to do a *lot* of surgery to the existing
code, e.g., using the Template Method or Strategy pattern to have
callouts within ACE_Log_Msg::log() every time a format code was
parsed.  My suggestion would be to contact Steve Huston
<shuston at riverace.com> for commercial support since he wrote much 
of ACE_Log_Msg::log() logic.

Thanks,

        Doug
