SQL Database Connectivity (SQLDBC) is a runtime environment for the development of database applications and database interfaces for SAP MaxDB. Using SQLDBC, applications can access SAP MaxDB databases, execute SQL statements, and edit data. SQLDBC consists of the runtime library libSQLDBC, the software development kit SQLDBC SDK and the tool sqldbc_cons. SQLDBC offers a comprehensive range of trace options..

The Tools user menu in the DBA Cockpit contains, among other things, the SQLDBC trace tool.
