That SQL monitor hooks into to the BDE.

There are a couple of things here -

1) client side SQL monitoring

2) client side SQL monitoring for your application

3) server side SQL monitoring

Now, "2" is simple - most Firebird componentsets have some kind
of SQL monitoring component, but they hook only your application.

"1" should be possible as well - you should even be able to write
a "re-rout" dll if you like.

Personally, I think "3" is the coolest thing - together with quota etc
to see which queries are "heavy" on the server etc etc...

I don't know if "3" is being considered for Firebird 2 - but I guess
it is, along with many many other things.
