--- Comment #127 from Christopher Brannon <cbrannon at cdalibrary.org> ---
I LOVE the idea of having a separate table for this function.  Perhaps it can
be designed in such a way that this function would have an option to store the
last x patrons.  It could also have a timestamp and feature to remove the data
if it is x days old.

It definitely should have the ability to be turned off if needed.

And to address what Heather suggested, yes, it could be used for other things,
but I think having a tables for specific functions lends itself to a more
efficient database rather than trying to design a table that encompasses many
things.  I think the more a table tries to cover, makes the table bigger and
less efficient.  There is more stuff to wade through.  Something that needs to
be considered for any table in the database.  The more you throw in a table,
the less effective the database, as a whole, becomes.

My Two Cents,
Christopher
