The SE_Trace() function

The SE_Trace() function provides tracing for spatial data type functions.

The SE_Trace() function provides the following levels of tracing:
Level 1
SQL function entry and exit
Level 2
Secondary function entry and exit
Level 3
Miscellaneous additional tracing
Important: You should turn off tracing during normal use, because it can generate tremendous amounts of trace output data. It is intended for use by Software Support in isolating problems.

Where pathname is a file name and full path on the server machine and level is 1, 2 or 3.

Return type

The text string OK, if the function was successfully executed
