Log4net not inserting into the database?

Question

I have log4net setup and configured to insert into a sql server 2005 table. My table is called Log. When I call the log4net method it does not enter any data into the log database in sql server. I am not getting any errors from my client c# code. Do I need to add a user to the log table in sql? Right now I am using windows authentication.

Here is my sql code for the log database:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Log](
[Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Date] [datetime] NULL,
[Thread] [varchar](255) NULL,
[Level] [varchar](50) NULL,
[Logger] [varchar](255) NULL,
[Message] [varchar](4000) NULL,
[Exception] [varchar](2000) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] 

Here is my class that I am using to call the log4net.

public class ErrorLog : ILog
{
    log4net.ILog _Log;

    /// <summary>
    /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="ErrorLog"/> class.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="log">The log.</param>
    public ErrorLog(log4net.ILog log) : this()
    {
        _Log = log;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="ErrorLog"/> class.
    /// </summary>
    public ErrorLog()
    {
        _Log = LogManager.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

        log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(); 
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Informationals the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    public void informational(string message)
    {
        _Log.Info(message);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Informationals the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    /// <param name="innerException">The innerException.</param>
    public void informational(string message, Exception innerException)
    {
        _Log.Info(message, innerException);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Debugs the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    public void debug(string message)
    {
        _Log.Debug(message);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Debugs the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    /// <param name="innerException">The innerException.</param>
    public void debug(string message, Exception innerException)
    {
        _Log.Debug(message, innerException);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Errors the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    public void error(string message)
    {
        _Log.Error(message);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Errors the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    /// <param name="innerException">The innerException.</param>
    public void error(string message, Exception innerException)
    {
        _Log.Error(message, innerException);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Warnings the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    public void warning(string message)
    {
        _Log.Warn(message);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Warnings the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    /// <param name="innerException">The innerException.</param>
    public void warning(string message, Exception innerException)
    {
        _Log.Warn(message, innerException);
    }
}

Here is my interface:

public interface ILog
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Informationals the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    void informational(string message);

    /// <summary>

    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    /// <param name="innerException">The innerException.</param>
    void informational(string message, Exception innerException);

    /// <summary>
    /// Debugs the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    void debug(string message);

    /// <summary>
    /// Debugs the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    /// <param name="innerException">The innerException.</param>
    void debug(string message, Exception innerException);

    /// <summary>
    /// Errors the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    void error(string message);

    /// <summary>
    /// Errors the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    /// <param name="innerException">The innerException.</param>
    void error(string message, Exception innerException);

    /// <summary>
    /// Warnings the specified message.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    void warning(string message);

    /// <summary>

    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="message">The message.</param>
    /// <param name="innerException">The innerException.</param>
    void warning(string message, Exception innerException);
}

<bufferSize value="100" />

It is saying that it will keep 100 logs in memory until written into DB. Maybe that's why you don't see anything in DB?
