In TC 8, opening a failed test run's log was fast even if the log was very large. The reason it was fast was because TC 8 only loaded into memory enough of the test run's log to populate the Log Item...
Hi mgroen2, I agree that it would be better if TC supported writing the test results log to SQL database format, particularly as it would give you (as you suggested) real time access to the test run's results.
But that would probably be a fairly big feature request, whereas adding the option not to automatically drill to the first error on opening a text run's log is probably a very small change.
