Lots of Swift runs are going into my log repository, though I don't really 
know what proportion of every run in the whole universe.

"The database" doesn't exist - there is a database implementation in SVN 
which you can deploy and import data to. However, its still at the stage 
where ongoing development changes the database schema often(*) which 
usually requires a reimport of all the logs; or modifies the data that 
Swift is producing so that old logs no longer provide all the needed data.

Hopefully it will converge on something fairly stable.

(*) not much in recent months but thats because the provenance project has 
been dead.
