So whats the best way to make my database?
Can you give an example for what I want to do?

I'm not sure I understood right.
e.g. my logfile has to following entries:
08:00:00
08:00:10
08:00:20
11:00:00
18:00:00
can I do this with 5 Updates (and get a correct graph)? How?
Will this solve to problem above?

Thanks a lot
