Answer 1

You don't exactly have to log it into a database.

Use file_put_contents with FILE_APPEND and store it in a text file using the tab delimiters or as a csv. That way you can easily import to a database when you need to or view the file in Excel or Numbers (in Mac) whenever you need them.

You can log the text file by dates, ie sql_queries_2012-05-24, and just store it in a folder. Text files shouldn't take as more space than storing it in a database. A simple 'if else' statement, with php date functions, should get the logging sorted by dates.

Using text files is certainly more cost-effective in resources than storing them in a database. Moreover, using php fgetcsv to index and INSERT from text files is much faster than using mysql UPDATE.

Answer 2

If you don't want some value missing on the database, can you use constraint to enforce that?
