log4jdbc is a JDBC driver that can log SQL and/or JDBC calls (and optionally SQL timing information) for other JDBC drivers, using the log4j 1.2.x logging system. This JDBC driver can be "dropped in" to log the SQL and JDBC calls of any java application without modifying the original application. This project was started over 5 years ago, to scratch an "itch". I needed a way to quickly and transparently log the SQL that an application was generating in order to find where in the application code problematic SQL was being generated from. Often times application code that I was contracted to work on didn't have it's own sufficient exception handling and logging to figure out this information without a significant amount of digging. Since that time, this little driver has proven itself indispensable on many projects, and I have added some other nifty features over the years, such as the ability to include timing information on the application SQL, and the ability to automatically plug in the values of bind variables in the SQL trace (enhancing the debugging utility and readability of the SQL output, enormously!) Recently a colleague (whom also has been using log4jdbc for quite some time for problem solving) suggested that I open source the project. So here it is! I hope that it can benefit others as much as it has benefited me. And please feel free to post suggestions, bug reports, feature requests, etc. to the log4jdbc SourceForge project pages.. For more information, see the main project page for log4jdbc at http://log4jdbc.sourceforge.net/ You can download the 1.0 release in binary and or source form at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=194500&package_id=229335&release_id=502834 Enjoy!
