Would this be a bottleneck?

I need to know if the following is a good idea. Or would it be a performance bottleneck.

I have upto 100 programs running at once that make logs. And, I need an 'overseer' program that tracks the logs. And possibly gives updates to an enduser based on
log entries.

Instead of having 100 files to track, I could have all 100 programs insert log entries into a log table on Oracle. This would make it much easier for an 'overseer' program to track what is going on.

The question is, would this be a serious performance bottleneck. Keep in mind
the log table is used just for inserting, rarely any updating, and periodical reading.

comment? thoughts? suggestions?
