ODBC and BCP

Log Server can forward log records to the Log Database using either of 2 formats:

  • With ODBC (Open Database Connectivity), Log Server inserts records into the database individually. The data stored in Log Server cache files is moved directly to the database.
  • With BCP (Bulk Copy Program), Log Server inserts the data in batches. To do this, Log Server starts by moving the data from the cache files into a new set of storage files. From there, the data is moved to the database.

Configure data insertion options in the Web Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager on the Settings > Reporting > Log Server page.
