• Key Concepts: 
  SQL Trace is a tool used to analyze the performance of SQL statements in the BC-JAS Java Application Server. It records the execution time of each SQL statement and provides detailed information about the execution plan, such as the number of rows read and written, and the number of database operations performed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use SQL Trace, you must first enable it in the server configuration. Once enabled, you can start a trace session by entering a command in the server console. The trace session will record all SQL statements executed during the session and store them in a trace file. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using SQL Trace, it is important to keep track of the trace files generated by each session. This will help you identify which trace files contain useful information and which ones can be discarded. Additionally, it is recommended to limit the size of each trace file to avoid running out of disk space.
