The only reason I can see to do this is for debugging. I have written UDF
which logs messages to a log file on the server.

I have also written an extension to CodeSite which allows stored procedures
and triggers to generate CodeSite entries. CodeSite is a popular debugging
tool for Delphi users which sends messages to a viewer or log file or
another machine. This makes it very easy to watch IB server procedures run
in near real time. The message dispatching is very efficient and flexible.

See http://www.raize.com/CodeSite/Default.htm for more info.

I'll be releasing the Codsite UDF extensions as open source sometime in January.
