Description: The ‘Query Execution Trace’ refers to a detailed log of the steps taken during the execution of a query in database systems. This trace provides valuable information about how requests are processed, allowing developers and database administrators to understand the flow of data and the operations performed. It includes details about the execution of each stage, from the receipt of the query to the delivery of results, facilitating the identification of bottlenecks, errors, and optimization opportunities. In the context of application performance monitoring, the execution trace becomes an essential resource, as it allows users to track the behavior of queries in real-time and perform performance analysis. This type of logging not only aids in troubleshooting issues but is also fundamental for auditing and regulatory compliance, as it provides a clear history of interactions with the database.
