traceLevel=value attribute

If tracing is enabled, the traceLevel=value attribute specifies the level of tracing to be used by the Derby Network Client.

The value is numeric. If you do not specify a trace level, the default is TRACE_ALL.

For more information about tracing, see "Network client tracing" in the Derby Server and Administration Guide. See traceFile=path, traceFileAppend=true, and traceDirectory=path for other attributes related to tracing.

Tracing levels

The following table shows the available tracing levels and their values.

Derby provides two ClientDataSource implementations. You can use the org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDataSource class on all supported Java SE versions except Java SE 8 Compact Profile 2. On Java SE 8 Compact Profile 2, you must use the org.apache.derby.jdbc.BasicClientDataSource40 class. See JDBC support for Java SE 8 Compact Profiles for more information.

To specify more than one trace level, use one of the following techniques:

Combining with other attributes

If you specify this attribute, you must also specify either the traceFile=path attribute or the traceDirectory=path attribute.

Example

-- enable tracing on a new database
jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/mydb;create=true;traceFile=trace.out;
    traceLevel=65
