# Troubleshooting ## Diagnostics: SQL protocol The **SQL protocol** records all database operations performed by GeoDin for later analysis. The protocol captures the actions executed, their execution time, and whether they succeeded. It is especially useful when debugging newly developed complex SQL queries. ### Starting and stopping the protocol Start the protocol from the **Information** menu with **Start SQL protocol**. All SQL commands executed afterwards are recorded. To stop the protocol, select the same menu item — it is now labelled ![Stop SQL protocol](/files/W5zH7YBgc8xWKKn19ja1) **Stop SQL protocol**. The recorded protocol is then displayed in a separate window and can be saved as a text file. You can also toggle the protocol with the keyboard shortcut **Alt+S**, without using the menu. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
