Is it better to log to file or database?

Question

We\'re still using old Classic ASP and want to log whenever a user does something in our application. We\'ll write a generic subroutine to take in the details we want to log.

Answer 1

I agree with the above with the perhaps obvious exception of logging database failures which would make logging to the database problematic. This has come up for me in the past as I was dealing with infrequent but regular network failovers.
