The configuration options are numerous; you can specify exactly which format the file to parse has (such as string, int, float and date/time) and which values goes into which table as a single value or in a group of two or more.

The application works, but there are a few issues I need to solve. The first and trickiest issue is the matter of knowing which lines to parse after a restart of the application. With the date-sorted files this was an easy matter since each file went into its own table, thereby enabling an easy time-check against the database. With these action files the matter is more complicated – firstly each line the application read can be split into multiple tables. Secondly, the application doesn’t know which kind of data it is writing to the database; it does not care (you can write three columns of data to a table without a date/time key give them a timestamp).

Contact me if you’re interested in trying it out.
