Hello ,
I have a script in the perl that generate a lot of data , mostly numbers .
Now the script save the data in text file , that is sent to an apache server that display the data .
I want to change from txt files to a database , and I've red that some stuff like RRDTools ( round robin) are excellent for this task , even because they permit to create some nice graphics that would be very useful ...
BUT .
1) I have never used RRDTools so I'd have to learn how it works :) , while I've used Mysql in the past
2) Seems RRDTools only saves numeric data .
My question :
Can i do something similar with mysql ?
Or can I save the data in Mysql , then extract it via php ( the apache server ) and use RRDTools to display the graphics ?
Or ... Do u have some hint ?
Many thx in advance
David
