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

Should we log this to say a txt file using FileSystemObject or log it to a MSSQL database?

Another idea is to write the log file in XML and then query it using XPath. I like to think that this is the best of both worlds.
