(ASCEND) What Radius attributes do you keep in a Dbase?

[Ray Brighenti <bargi@webfront.net.au>]

Hi,

For those out there who record their Radius Accounting to a database which
records do you really need to keep(or perhaps which ones are really no use)

I had a look through the Ascend description of accounting attributes and
this is what I came up with (Keeping in mind I want to be able to use the
data for troubleshooting, tracking and anything else I can pull useful
stats from).

Any comments/opinions would be great.
