A log file analysis technique using binary-based approach

Log files are an important by product of any computing systems including database systems. They contain a huge amount of historical data. Although many algorithms have been designed to utilize the information stored in such files, many of them can still be further improved in terms of execution time...

Log files are an important by product of any computing systems including database systems. They contain a huge amount of historical data. Although many algorithms have been designed to utilize the information stored in such files, many of them can still be further improved in terms of execution time and memory usage. In this research paper, a binary-based approach for mining frequency of data items in database transaction log files is introduced.

Initial experimentation of the approach reveals a significant improvement in terms of the execution time taken to perform frequency analysis of a database transaction log file.
