Summary

Installs debug trace callback

Prototype

db:trace(func,udata)

Description

This function installs a trace callback handler. func is a Lua function that is called by SQLite3 just before the evaluation of an SQL statement. This callback receives two arguments: the first is the udata argument used when the callback was installed; the second is a string with the SQL statement about to be executed.
