Save Database Queries to a Trace File

When you reverse engineer a database, you can set a trace file to record the database queries. You can analyze the queries executed against the database during the reverse engineering process. You set options for the trace file in the Diagnostics tab of the Options dialog before starting the reverse engineering process.
