Hmmm, I've been logging using a similar approach (REAL similar, in fact. I think by default, you'd end up with the same table structure regardless of who put it together).
But now the REAL question (and one I can't find ANY answer to: What magic SQL does one use to get anything worthwhile OUT of this data? Is there an SQLmonks.org that could help? Or is anybody interested in setting up a repository for useful open-sourced SQL code to handle log files? (i.e., glean the number of visitors? Number of visits? number of nonblack nonravens?)
I've got a few queries I've hacked together, but nothing compared to the visions of loveliness I had in mind when I started logging this info a few months ago.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
