	Only issue with that is sql.c is written in, well, C. Unfortunately,
sans one module I wrote in C for AT&T in the 90's (To make a Telephone
Switch act like a web server) I don't program C. If you want it in perlized,
just change :

		 fputs(querystr, sqlfile);

		to

		 fputs(time." - ".querystr, sqlfile);

	and it'd work for me. I can run Date::Manip to translate to a proper
format.

	I'm planning to do that already... But I also need to see in the
sqltrace file the timestamp it claims the command was done too. The 
"timestamp" column would only be able to tell me the last time it happened.
I need to see the interim ones which sqltrace would show me, and the time
it actually did it. Right now the "querystr" doesn't have the time it 
actually occurs.
