     3Blue Spider can record all incoming data to a SQL database. It is highly recommended that you configure a database and use this feature. With database logging correctly configured it can be possible to recover all raw data and reconstruct log files from the raw data. If for example you forgot to record a required data field in a particular CSV log file or if you misconfigured a particular input then with database logging set up and having recorded data for your entire job you can retrospectively reconstruct the missing data.
