Specifying a nondefault Database Trace log

You can specify a nondefault name and location for the log file when you use Database Trace. This lets you:

Control where PocketBuilder writes the output of the Database Trace tool
Give the log file a name and location that best meets the development needs at your site

To specify a nondefault Database Trace log file:

Open the PocketBuilder initialization file for editing.

You can use the File Editor (in PocketBuilder) or any text editor (outside PocketBuilder).
Create an entry named DBTraceFile in the [Database] section of the initialization file, using the following syntax to specify a nondefault log file:
```
DBTraceFile=log_file_pathname
```
For example:
```
[Database]
```
```
...
```
```
DBTraceFile=c:\logs\mydbtrce.log
```
Save your changes to the initialization file.

The next time you use the Database Trace tool to trace a connection in the development environment, PocketBuilder writes the output to the log file you specified instead of to the default PKTRACE.LOG file.
