A method, comprising:

• identifiying a log record;
• assigning said log record to one of a plurality of log queues;
• associating a log queue identifier of the assigned log queue with said log record;
• associating a log queue sequence identifier with said log record;

• writing said log record, said log queue identifier, and said log queue sequence identifier to a log data file.

A database system, comprising:

• a memory storing processor-executable process steps;
• an interface for receiving a first and a second database request message from a client device;
• and
• at least a first processor in communication with the memory and operative in conjunction with the stored process steps to:
• establish a first and a second transaction based on said first and second database requests, said first and second transactions resulting in the creation of a first and a second log record;
• associate said first and second log records with first and second log queues, respectively;
• associate a log queue identifier with each of said first and second log records;
• and
• write said first and second log records to a data log.

A medium storing processor-executable process steps, the process steps comprising:

• receiving a first log record at a first log queue and a second log record at a second log queue;
• associating a log queue identifier with each of said first and second log records;
• and
• writing said first and second log records to a data log.
