The purpose of ODBCTrace is to trace calls into the ODBC API on a Win32 machine, while offering a reasonable user interface and more elaborated options than the odbctrac.dll shipped by Microsoft^®.

Features

• Permits you to enable/disable tracing for every individual function so you can trade level of detail against execution time overhead, and reduce undesired output noise.
• Upon statement execution, dumps the entire statement including values of bound parameters.
• Optionally dumps values of bound columns after fetch/update/refresh.
• Is thread safe (I think).
• Tells you ID of calling thread.
• Tells you nesting levels of calls within calling thread (particularly helpful with cursor library).
• Tells you approximate execution time of each call.
• Sends output to either a file and/or a RichEdit based log window.

Tech Tweaks

• Uses C++ smart pointer for thread local storage access.
• Pops up Options dialog from DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH by creating a satellite process.
• Attaches a TabRuler to a RichEdit control without subclassing.
• Doesn't link to MSVCRT.
• Uses IAT/EAT patching to hook into process termination.
• Uses EAT/IAT patching to catch debug strings.
