Hi,
I'm aiming to improve database trace quality to better understand what's
happening in our database. I'd love to get index information, query
planning information, performance statistics and richer errors into our
database spans. I don't know what the best layer is for this enrichment
(e.g. database module, OpenTelemetry, in our application, etc...).

I'm looking for the following specifically:

   - Thoughts on the possibilities of getting this information and where it
   would come from?
   - Thoughts on whether this enrichment aligns with the database
   specification's purpose?
   - Any contacts who could help answer or provide more questions.


This article

captures the issues I've faced in greater detail.

Thanks in advance for your help!
