we have a nightly postgres backup script. on completion, it inserts a record into a labkey list with some info about that job. it's a perl script and uses the perl api to insert that record.

there's no real problem with this approach, but it occurred to me that the audit table is really designed to hold these sort of events. is there any reason not to insert records into the audit table? can i actually insert a record into audit via the labkey api or would that require either using postgres directly or setting up audit as an external schema?

thanks.
