That all sounds good.

Yes, I meant everything.errlog, but I was talking about trolling for something more specific. Long, long ago when I implemented a whitelist of DB columns that can be automatically modified because I find the blacklist approach hopelessly prone to security problems, I didn't actually switch to the whitelist code. But I did make it log whenever something was set via that mechanism so I could later use the log to find things that should be whitelisted (or be set by specific code instead) so switching to the whitelist would not break some important but infrequently used feature.
