The thinking was to define a set of probes that are common to all DBs and put them in one provider (eg: database or db). For DB specific probes, they can be in different providers (eg: postgresql, mysql, etc).
After we got some DTrace probes into PostgreSQL (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/dynamic-trace.html), I talked to some folks at MySQL about the standardization idea, and they were in favor of it. I'd imagine developers from other OSDBs would be interested in doing this as well. Now that we have probes in MySQL and PostgreSQL, we can start defining what the standard set should look like. I'll create a wiki page to capture what we have so far, and please contribute especially those who are familiar with the MySQL probes. This wiki page will be linked from http://opensolaris.org/os/community/databases/, and I should have in up in a couple of days. -Robert _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list [email protected]
