Answer 1

Log Parser by Microsoft will let you query various types of data with SQL without needing to convert it.

Log parser is a powerful, versatile
tool that provides universal query
access to text-based data such as log
files, XML files and CSV files, as
well as key data sources on the
Windows® operating system such as the
Event Log, the Registry, the file
system, and Active Directory®. You
tell Log Parser what information you
need and how you want it processed.
The results of your query can be
custom-formatted in text based output,
or they can be persisted to more
specialty targets like SQL, SYSLOG, or
a chart.
