ODBC debug logging and driver manager tracing

ODBC debug logging and driver manager tracing are two methods of tracking system activity.

It is preferable to use debug logging, which provides the necessary information and is a supported driver logging function. Tracing is an external option (not an IBM® Netezza® driver manager option) that keeps a log of function calls between the driver manager and the driver and between the driver manager and the application.

Both debugging and tracing are disabled by default. Enable debugging and tracing only for troubleshooting because they can degrade client application performance.
