Oracle managed to score a major victory last week at the MySQL
Conference by announcing performance gains of 200-360% in the
forthcoming version 5.5. This is a tremendous
improvement and comes in part due to closer collaboration between
what were historically two distinct (and occasionally
competitive) groups: the InnoBase team and the MySQL Server
team. Bringing the InnoBase team under the direction of the
MySQL Server team under Tomas Ullin is a great benefit not only
to MySQL developers, but also for MySQL users. No doubt
these performance gains are a result of many months of hard work
by not only Tomas, but also a good number of folks on both teams
including guys like Mikael Ronstrum, Kojstja, Calvin Sun and
others.

In our last installment we found our hero investigating the tracing changes found in Connector/Net 6.2. This time we’ll take a closer look at the format of the trace data and how developers can use that information to write new and interesting trace listeners.
Understanding the plumbing
The first thing we need to understand is a little about how the trace messages are routed. The main method we are interested in is TraceSource.TraceEvent. Here is the signature.
public void TraceEvent(
TraceEventType eventType,
int id,
string format,
params Object[] args
)
All the other TraceSource methods like TraceInformation eventually boil down to a call to …
