Description

I often see questions like How do I turn on logging or tracing for Derby. I want to log statements or locks, query plans or something else. This came up on derby-user on this thread:
http://www.nabble.com/Logging-tf1981511.html

Unfortunately the documentation for Derby properties does not give a hit on logging or tracing, diagnostics, configuration, or trace,

Maybe these properties could be presented better in the documentation and a diagnostics section would be most helpful but a quick fix for 10.2 might be to add a sentence with the key words to.

http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/tuning/ctunproper22250.html

Instead of

"This chapter includes all the core Derby properties."

We could have.
"This chapter includes all the core Derby properties. The Derby properties are used for system and database configuration as well as diagnostics such as logging statements, and monitoring and tracing locks."

That would give us hits on the important key words.
