I'd very much like a format that can be easily loaded into
a database (not necessarily the same one producing the logs :-) )
in real time and/or be visible as a table through something
like dbi-link.

I suppose any of the first three formats you suggest could work
with dbi-link; or another alternate format  * sql insert statements
would work if piped logs were supported by sending it to psql.
