The App writes a new file using a filename that contains a timestamp and UUD. Then another asynchronous process pulls those files in, batches them and takes care...

One design consideration for an application event logging table is the acceptable latency between when the event occurs and when the record is available for querying. If...

When building a log table there is nearly always a chronological order that can be exploited. Create the clustered index such that date and time (or sequence number)...

For me it is very much dependent on what gets logged and how frequent log events happen.

1) Which details are relevant and are known at logging time and which can...

A good developer works towards keeping designs and implementations as simple and understandable as can be. And provides solutions that are complete as based on what is actually important. There...

I agree that it adds complexity, but I'm not sure what you mean when you say it limits what can architecturally work. All the same things are possible with...

Code that is testable, regardless of the quality of the tests, already leads to better design. And don't get me started on 'design decisions'... if you make...
