        <para>
            <classname>Zend_Db_Profiler</classname> can be enabled to allow profiling of
            queries. Profiles include the queries processed by the adapter as
            well as elapsed time to run the queries, allowing inspection of the
            queries that have been performed without needing to add extra
            debugging code to classes. Advanced usage also allows the
            developer to filter which queries are profiled.
        </para>

        <para>
            Enable the profiler by either passing a directive to the adapter
            constructor, or by asking the adapter to enable it later.
        </para>

        <programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
$params = array(
    'host'     => '127.0.0.1',
    'username' => 'webuser',
    'password' => 'xxxxxxxx',

    'profiler' => true  // turn on profiler
                        // set to false to disable (disabled by default)
);

        <para>
            The value of the '<code>profiler</code>' option is flexible. It is interpreted differently depending on its
            type. Most often, you should use a simple boolean value, but other types enable you to customize the
            profiler behavior.
        </para>

        <para>
            A boolean argument sets the profiler to enabled if it is a <code>true</code> value, or disabled if
            <code>false</code>. The profiler class is the adapter's default profiler class,
            <classname>Zend_Db_Profiler</classname>.
            <programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
$params['profiler'] = true;
$db = Zend_Db::factory('PDO_MYSQL', $params);
]]></programlisting>
        </para>

        <para>
            An instance of a profiler object makes the adapter use that object. The object type must be
            <classname>Zend_Db_Profiler</classname> or a subclass thereof. Enabling the profiler is done separately.
            <programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
$profiler = MyProject_Db_Profiler();
$profiler->setEnabled(true);
$params['profiler'] = $profiler;
$db = Zend_Db::factory('PDO_MYSQL', $params);
]]></programlisting>
        </para>

        <para>
            The argument can be an associative array containing any or all of the keys '<code>enabled</code>',
            '<code>instance</code>', and '<code>class</code>'. The '<code>enabled</code>' and '<code>instance</code>'
            keys correspond to the boolean and instance types documented above. The '<code>class</code>' key is used
            to name a class to use for a custom profiler. The class must be <classname>Zend_Db_Profiler</classname> or a
            subclass. The class is instantiated with no constructor arguments. The '<code>class</code>' option is
            ignored when the '<code>instance</code>' option is supplied.
            <programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
$params['profiler'] = array(
    'enabled' => true,
    'class'   => 'MyProject_Db_Profiler'
);
$db = Zend_Db::factory('PDO_MYSQL', $params);
]]></programlisting>
        </para>

        <para>
            Finally, the argument can be an object of type <classname>Zend_Config</classname> containing properties, which are treated as the array keys described above. For example, a file "config.ini" might contain the following data:
            <programlisting role="ini"><![CDATA[
[main]
db.profiler.class   = "MyProject_Db_Profiler"
db.profiler.enabled = true
]]></programlisting>

            This configuration can be applied by the following PHP code:

            <programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
$config = new Zend_Config_Ini('config.ini', 'main');
$params['profiler'] = $config->db->profiler;
$db = Zend_Db::factory('PDO_MYSQL', $params);
]]></programlisting>

            The '<code>instance</code>' property may be used as in the following:
            <programlisting role="php"><![CDATA[
$profiler = new MyProject_Db_Profiler();
$profiler->setEnabled(true);
$configData = array(
    'instance' => $profiler
    );
$config = new Zend_Config($configData);
$params['profiler'] = $config;
$db = Zend_Db::factory('PDO_MYSQL', $params);
]]></programlisting>

        </para>

        <para>
            At any point, grab the profiler using the adapter's

                Using <code>setFilterQueryType()</code> can cut down on the

                that it can do this filtering on-the-fly, by passing a query
