If you don't need search or modify the data.

Hi,

I have a to-do list app ( using Django 1.5 and MySQL ) in which a task can be shared with another user. Thus, a user can have personal tasks and shared tasks. Shared tasks will be a fraction ( i guess around 30% of total tasks of a user )

For shared tasks, I want to keep a log so that users connected to the task can know who has done which changes.

For this, I'm thinking of keeping a log file for every shared task. Whenever any user makes a change, it'll be appended to that file.

My question is - Should I do it via file storage, or should I save it in database ?

Please note these points -

- Log will not be accessed frequently ( A file's log may be read 5-10 times max in an hour. )

- In an hour, there may be total >500 writes ( but for different files. So for a file there may be 10-50 max writes in an hour. So, concurrency is not a major issue. )

- I won't need to search or modify the data anyway after reading it.

Thanks in advance !
