I’m wanting to do a simple page view log in a table, and I don’t  
really care about the results of the insert. In most cases, I would  
do this with an INSERT DELAYED query in a MyISAM table. I couldn’t  
find through the API or a google search the active record convention  
for forcing the DELAYED option.

Is there a convention? Or what would it look like to manually craft  
this sql do this from the controller?

Any help would be appreciated.
