How to store trace data generated by the looping step?

Hi,

 

I'm looking for the best approach to store the trace data generated by the looping step.

 

This test is intended to run for days and basically consist of one looping step only which every 2 seconds bringing the fresh sample (a number) of a trace.

 

The idea of the whole solution is to store this data in the database in on-the-fly mode and write independent application which gets picks the data up from the DB and do analysis on it.

 

I'm concern about the best format/method I can use to store the data in DB. Will every sample of the trace gathered be stored in separate record? Or, will it be stored in one field? Can I have any choice at all here?

 

What is your opinion?

 

K.

For me seems easier to create each time new record. While using primary key as identificator of measurement/test, and save related to it measuremen data, it'll be easier:

- simply to add data as new record (and not care of adding data to the proper "cell" in DB);

- simplier to analyze (by time, etc.).
