*laughs* You better have a small user base.

No, but this is probably something you should not do in real time. The
way I would do it is with a small C code (don't use perl/python/whatever
because they are just too slow) and parse the logs into the database.

Of course, if you haven't got many users (less than 1000?) then why not
use 'grep -c'???

Log analysers tool are a none-trivial problem. Good luck.
