Hi,

I'd like to log some data to a log file (could be any format), the
goal to make the entry unique (for example, each entry in the file
have an unique address). Can I accomplish this without installing any
database in the machine that collecting these logs? This is on Windows
Server platform.
Thanks!

Yeah, or you can use a serial number/timestamp/hash, or, if it's an
append only log file, each entry already has a unique 'address': its
file position.

It would be nice to know the circumstances this data is consumed/
queried.
