Logs in ASYNC mode

Question

Hello everyone,
I have a question about logging in PL/SQL.
Let's suppose I have something like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pck_utilities AS
    PROCEDURE LOG_MESSAGE(message VARCHAR2) AS
        PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
    BEGIN
        INSERT INTO LOG_TABLE(SYSTIMESTAMP, message);
    END;
END pck_utilities;But I was wondering if it was not possible to do the logging asynchronously. I mean, queue the messages in a queue or something and write them when the system is less needed? Something like log4j...
By the way, any advice on how to implement a powerful (but yet simple) log system would be great.
Thanks,

Yes. It is possible. You can build your own error handler, which uses a public collection variable and you extend that and store your logs in there and then bulk insert all the rows into a table when needed.
Also, you can use log4j kind of component from here (If you don't want to write one for yourself) http://log4plsql.sourceforge.net/
By the way, I haven't explored all the license agreement, You may need before use it.
