 Description
 
   Track2sql takes a VTRACK log file (server version 2005.2 or
   greater) as input, and produces an SQL file as output. It 
   requires a PHP command-line interpreter and an SQL database.
   It has been tested with PHP version 5, but might be compatible
   with earlier versions. It has been tested with MySQL version 5
   but should be compatible with other SQL databases.
   
   
 Usage
 
   php track2sql.php [ logFile | - [ sqlFile | - ] ] [ -d dbName ]
   
    Options:
      logFile     name of input file or '-' for stdin
      sqlFile     name of output file or '-' for stdout
      -d          name of database to create 
      -v|V|h      view version and usage information
      
    Examples:
      $ track2sql.php log track.sql -d track
      $ cat log | track2sql.php | mysql
      $ tail -F log | track2sql.php | mysql
 
     
 Application
 
   The power of SQL allows us to analyze the server log data in
   many different ways. In particular, track2sql is an effective 
   tool for identifying performance problems. If you are 
   experiencing poor performance, try the following steps to 
   illuminate the culprits.
   
    1. Convert your log file to sql.
 
        track2sql.php logFile -d dbName | mysql
 
    2. Launch your SQL client
    
        mysql dbName
 
    3. Identify commands with long compute-phases.
    
        mysql> SELECT 
                process.processKey,user,cmd,
                MAX(readHeld+writeHeld)-MAX(readWait+writeWait) 
                AS compute 
               FROM tableUse JOIN process USING (processKey) 
               GROUP BY tableUse.processKey 
               ORDER BY compute DESC LIMIT 25;
 
       This will produce a list of 25 processes that held locks 
       on one or more database tables for an extended period 
       of time. During these periods of time, it is possible 
       that the offending processes blocked other processes, 
       thereby degrading performance.
       
          +---------------------------+------+-----------+---------+
          | processKey                | user | cmd       | compute |
          +---------------------------+------+-----------+---------+
          | 2cd5c5a5-...-f57f5ea18795 | jdoe | user-sync |   98765 |
          |        ...                |  ... |       ... |     ... |
          +---------------------------+------+-----------+---------+
       
       FOR EACH OFFENSIVE PROCESS:
 
         a. Get process information.
         
             mysql> SELECT * FROM process 
                    WHERE processKey='2cd5c5a5-...-f57f5ea18795';
         
         b. Get table usage information.
 
             mysql> SELECT * FROM tableUse 
                    WHERE processKey='2cd5c5a5-...-f57f5ea18795';
 
         c. Identify bottlenecks and take action.
            This last step can be difficult. Keep in mind that
            in general, performance can be improved three ways:
            
              -> By improving hardware (memory, disks, cpu)
              -> By upgrading software (perforce server/clients, OS)
              -> By adjusting usage (reducing scope of commands)
