## What it is
P6Spy is a Java framework that intercepts and logs JDBC database traffic without any code changes to the application. It includes P6Log, which records all JDBC transactions for any Java application.

## Use cases
- log all SQL statements issued by a Java application
- debug slow JDBC queries without changing application code
- capture actual SQL with parameters sent to the database
- audit database transactions in existing Java apps
- wrap any JDBC driver to trace database calls

## When to choose
- you need JDBC query logging with zero code changes
- you want to see the real SQL including bound parameter values
- you need a drop-in JDBC proxy driver for debugging or auditing

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose application logging framework
- your project is not on the JVM
- you need actively developed tooling with frequent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: logging, database-driver, middleware
- domain: databases, developer-tools, backend
- platform: jvm
- tags: jdbc, sql-logging, interception, debugging
