I'm not a GUI/App programmer so I'll have to find another way to test what you propose, Solomon. Shouldn't be too difficult, though.
If I were an App programmer, I'd write code to make whatever log file you speak of more easily fit the idea of a simple BCP import. Normalization of data isn't reserved to just tables in a database nor any less important outside a database.
