Generally I do use trace for debugging only, and turn it off when the
program hits production.
However this question came up during a DBI course that I was teaching.
One of the students wanted to keep an ongoing tracelog of his program's
DBI interactions. Perhaps he would be better off coding a customized
trace routine for a more concise log. It might be nice for the DBI to
allow the user to register a callback from trace() to customize the
output written to the log.
