As an alternative to say Google Analytics, would it be possible to write to a custom sql database on every page view , eg sending the page title, id and maybe other items from the page to be stored in a separate db for retrieval.
That is, the page would connect to the db and call an agent with parameters to create the row.
Sure can. Umbraco has no limitations on calling to external databases. You can even store it to Umbraco's database if you want. Umbraco has this PetaPoco concept that allows you to interact with the database easily.
Writing to custom sql db on page load

Can this be done? Thanks!
