I don't know. Without a database viewer, like an automatic import to LibreOffice where we can choose filters to see what we want or not, I see no advantage in a database. Somewhere where we can click on an event, follow it, discard garbage, etc.
I think perhaps that's the wrong approach. Yes, as I've mentioned, journalctl -o json | json-to-csv or similar lets you import a snapshot into ooclac. So what? You can do the same with an Oracle database,a MySyql/MariaDB database. But in reality what I do when I want to manipulate a MySql database with a GUI is to use a tool someone wrote in Python, 'phpMyAdmin'. There's one for sqlight3 as well. It works on the database itself, not on an export. Of course 'phpMyAdmin' hasn't always existed. MySQL was around for a long time before that tool was written for it. MySQL was initially released in 1995. Tobias Ratschiller started working on what became phpMyAdmin in 1998. Perhaps someone is working on a GUI that like phpMyAdmin access the systemctl database directly. The documentation is out there .. In the mean time, the real issue isn't that you can't import a snapshot of the journalctl into oocalc, its that ooclc ignores the JSON standard unless you have the add-in for it. Seems dumb to me that it should handle CSV and not JSON in this day and age. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
