Windows Process Description:

The odbctrac.dll component stands for Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). It is a trace Dynamic Link Library (DLL) which contains the code enabling trace functions. It is, therefore, a necessary component of the ODBC Driver Manager, which, in turn, is an essential component of Microsoft Data Access.

An application that relies on ODBC for connectivity purposefully resorts in a steady stream of function calls to and from the database server, client, and other dependent programs including the driver. The component odbctrac.dll is capable of transcription and record methods that will be saved in a log file. This DLL will capture calls transmitted between the Driver Manager and the application, and between the driver and its ODBC manager. The current version of the module odbctrac.dll, version 3.526.3959.0, has replaced the tracing functions performed by the Driver Manager and the utility ODBC Spy in ODBC line version 2.

Found both in the ODBC bundle of the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) and the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC SDK) is the module odbctrac.dll, although the MDAC SDK has ceased supporting it. In the event that the registry entry, the interface structure, or a sample code is needed by the user, obtaining Windows SDK will provide the means.

When Windows SDK is procured, make sure that a copy of the odbctrac.dll component is present in C:/ WINDOWS/ system32 so that it is from the system core and not from the Driver Manager where the connection strings passes on to the file odbctrac.dll.

The actual functions of the file odbctrac.dll are inputting, outputting, and deferring arguments by returning codes. Now, if SQL is the preferred language that bases the server environment, SQLSTATES are also traced. In this lengthy process, the Driver Manager calls the DLL odbctrac.dll at two junctions of the operation: at the very beginning of function entry pre-argument validation and then at the return of the function.

The ODBC Driver Manager calls on its component odbctrac.dll to intercede on behalf of the application calling to be processed. This is evident because an ODBC function imported this way is tagged with a command prefixed by the name "Trace". The library file odbctrac.dll will then monitor the stream of input arguments and brings back the corresponding return code so that invalid arguments, which comprise the bulk of integrity-critical events a user should be aware of, are traced and logged, since the component odbctrac.dll precedes the activity of the Device Manager.
