SQLDBC Trace 

SQL Database Connectivity (SQLDBC) is a runtime environment for the development of database applications and database interfaces for MaxDB. Through SQLDBC, applications can access MaxDB database instances, execute SQL statements and edit data. It comprises the runtime library libSQLDBC, the software development kit SQLDBC SDK and the tool sqldbc_cons.

SQLDBC provides, among other things, a comprehensive range of trace options which can be called up using the Database Assistant. The tools user menu (OLTP/ liveCache) contains, among other things, the SQLDBC trace tool.
